Ingredients
- Cupcakes, tops flattened and lightly frosted (see
- and
- )
- Oreo cookies
- Whoppers
- Miniature Reese's peanut butter cups
- Candy corn
- Assorted icing - yellow, white and red
Instructions
- Bake and cool the cupcakes, then frost the top of the cupcakes in an even layer of chocolate frosting.
- Put a little bit of chocolate frosting around the middle of the Oreos on one end (this helps the candy corn stick a little bit better). Then place 5 pieces of candy corn tip-side-down into the Oreos.
- Put a dab of chocolate frosting on the bottom of the Oreos (on the opposite end from the candy corn). Then place these on top of another Oreo cookie, so they are perpendicular to each other. It helps to have them sitting against a wall or a solid surface so they can set up without falling over. Allow the frosting to set so they stick together.
- Meanwhile, cut a small sliver off one end of your miniature peanut butter cups.
- Flip the cookies over so the candy corn is on the bottom, but keep them pushed up against the wall or your solid surface. Place a dab of frosting on the miniature peanut butter cups and place them on them Oreo cookies so that the ridged part of the peanut butter cup is facing up (the same direction as the candy corn).
- Place a small dab of frosting on both the top of the peanut butter cup and the Oreo cookies and attach a Whopper so that it is touching the frosting on both the peanut butter cup and the Oreo.
- Cut off the tip ends of candy dorn. Add a dab of yellow icing to the middle of the Whopper and attach the candy corn tips for the beaks. Add two yellow dots for the eyes and then a chocolate sprinkle or mini chocolate chips for the center of the eyes.
- Once the beak is secure and set, you can flip the turkeys over. Use icing to draw some little yellow feet. Use red icing to add a gobbler under the turkey's beak. Carefully set them on top of the frosted chocolate cupcakes and serve!
