Ingredients:
1 Box Betty Crocker yellow cake mix
1 Can Betty Crocker milk chocolate frosting
1 Can Betty Crocker vanilla frosting
1 Bag of Candy Corn
1 Bag mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
1 Bag M&M’s
Food Coloring
Step 1: Follow the directions on the cake mix box to bake 24 tasty cupcakes!
Step 2: Once you have baked the cupcakes and let them cool, frost each cupcake with chocolate frosting – make sure the cupcakes have cooled fully so that the frosting stays in place and doesn’t melt away.
Step 3: Unwrap the mini Reese’s cups. Place one on the bottom of each of the cupcakes.
Step 4: Place 5 candy corns above each Reese’s cup. I wanted symmetry so I dispersed them evenly, but you can place them however you’d like!
Step 5: Gather the orange M&M’s. Cut each M&M in half. Use frosting to “glue” the M&M to the bottom of the Reese’s cup. Tip: to make it easier use a ziploc bag as a piping bag by cutting a small hole in the corner.
Step 6: Use the same technique with vanilla icing and pipe on small dots as eyes.
Step 7: Repeat with black frosting for the pupils inside the eyes – to make the black coloring I used the food dye on the vanilla frosting.
Step 8: Use red food coloring to dye vanilla frosting. Use the same piping bag technique on the side of the Reese’s cup to create the turkey’s wattle – lol does anyone actually know that’s what the red part is called?
That’s all! Enjoy this delicious and quick dessert with your family!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
