Turkey Cupcakes!
I've never done a treat for Kevin's class for Tday. I never got to make them a halloween treat this year though! I was in the complete exhaustion stage of my pregnacy! Halloween is usually my favorite holiday to bake for b/c you can do a lot of cute stuff. I was really happy with these turkeys though! Although I must warn you these are VERY VERY time consuming!!!
What you'll need:
1 bag STARBURST Brand Original Fruit Chews FUN SIZE®
1 bag TWIX Brand Miniatures
1 bag M&M’S Brand Chocolate Mini Baking Bits
1 (18.25 oz.) box yellow cake mix
2 (16. oz) cans chocolate frosting
24 thin chocolate wafers
1 box thin pretzel sticks
Fall-colored paper cupcake liners
Small rolling pin
Scissors
Printable template
Resealable plastic bag
What to do:
Prepare cake batter according to instructions on box. Divide batter evenly into paper-lined cupcake cups.
Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for approximately 18-20 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
Meanwhile, soften 24 STARBURST Brand Original Fruit Chews FUN SIZE (about 6 at a time) in the microwave for 2 to 3 seconds. Flatten them with a rolling pin and immediately cut into feathers using printable template and scissors. Use any red STARBURST Brand Original Fruit Chews FUN SIZE scraps to make the waddle.
Frost the top of each cupcake. Using the scissors, snip a corner off of the resealable plastic bag and spoon 1 cup of chocolate frosting into the bag. For the tail: Pipe a line of frosting across the chocolate wafers and arrange three feathers on each one. Press pretzel stick to support wafer and press wafer ?tail? into the cupcake. For the head: Pipe 4 dots on the short end of a TWIX Brand Miniatures candy to stick on the M&M’S Brand Chocolate Mini Baking Bits eyes, nose and STARBURST Brand Original Fruit Chews FUN SIZE® waddle.
