Crafting Your Turkey Candy Brownies
Follow these simple steps to create these adorable turkey-themed brownies:
1. Prepare the Brownies: Ensure your brownies are baked and adequately cooled. You can either use a box mix, homemade recipe, or the homemade brownie mix provided.
2. Shape the Brownies: Use a round cookie cutter, ideally around 1 1/2" to 2" in diameter, to cut circular shapes out of your batch of brownies.
3. Frosting Time: Spread chocolate frosting over each brownie to create a delightful base for the turkey-themed decorations.
4. Turkey Feathers: Take 4 pieces of candy corn and place them upside down on the frosted brownie to mimic the feathers of the turkey.
5. Adding the Character: Place two candy eyes to give the turkey a playful and endearing face. For the beak, simply cut the tip off a candy corn and place it appropriately.
6. Storage: To keep these adorable treats fresh, store them loosely covered at room temperature.
Recipe Enhancements and Variations
Some quick notes to enhance or adapt your Turkey Candy Brownies:
- The quantity of turkeys you can create will vary based on the size of your cookie cutter and the pan size of your brownies.
