Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 24 cupcakes, baked and cooled, any flavor
  • 1 (16 ounce) can chocolate frosting
  • 1 (16 ounce) can vanilla frosting
  • 100 pretzel sticks
  • 12 Reeses Pieces, cut in half I just use the orange and yellow ones
  • Colored sugars in fall colors
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Using a frosting tool, swirl chocolate frosting onto cooled cupcakes. If I run out, I make a couple of white turkeys with the vanilla frosting as there will be leftover vanilla frosting.

  • Step 2: Then make a small swirl with the chocolate frosting for the head towards one edge of the cupcake. Use the white frosting to make two eyes and add a halved reeses piece for the nose.

  • Step 3: Next dip pretzel sticks into white frosting and roll into colored sugar - using 5 colors/sticks for each cupcake. Insert colored pretzel sticks into back end of the cupcake (opposite of face) to make the turkey's fan.
