Turkey Cupcakes

Turkey cupcakes are the perfect Thanksgiving treat for kids who want to enjoy a holiday treat. These turkey cupcakes are made with a boxed cake mix, nutter butter cookies, candy corn, and some creativity.

Holidays are so much fun to celebrate with kids, but I often find my kids don't enjoy eating pie or the other traditional Thanksgiving desserts. These turkey cupcakes are such a fun way for kids to celebrate Thanksgiving with something their little taste buds will enjoy. If you are going to be with children this Thanksgiving, consider making a batch of these super easy turkey cupcakes!

Turkey Cupcakes:

Turkey cupcakes are super fun and easy Thanksgiving treat to make with kids. You can make the cupcakes from scratch or use a boxed mix, and then you just need to frost (with canned frosting or homemade), and then assemble the turkey toppings and put them on your cupcake! 

What You'll Need To Make Turkey Cupcakes:

To make these turkey cupcakes you're going to need a boxed cake mix, a can of chocolate frosting, an edible marker, round Nutter Butter cookies, red icing (store bought), and a candy corn for the nose. These are all super accessible items that you can gather from your local grocery store, or online on amazon. If you have a hard time finding an edible marker, you can purchase one here.

How to Make Turkey Cupcakes:

To make the turkey cupcakes start by making your cupcakes according to the box directions. Once the cupcakes are baked and completely cool, frost them with your chocolate frosting. Next, stick your round nutter butter cookie into the center of the cupcake, use your edible marker to draw two eyes, use the red icing for the nose, and then stick a candy corn onto the red icing. Finally, wedge some candy corn pieces into the sandwich cookie to look like the turkey's feathers.
