A few years ago, I baked homemade donuts for everyone to decorate and enjoy.

Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prepare and bake the brownies according to the instructions on the back of the box. Once the brownies are baked, allow them the cool completely before decorating.
Quick Decorating Tip
Use a little dab of icing on the back of the peanut butter cup to help it stick to the top of the brownie circle!
How to Decorate the Turkey Brownies
Step 2: Once the brownies have cooled, cut them into 3 inch circles. Add a little icing to the back of a peanut butter cup to add the turkey body. Add the candy eyes and a red chocolate candy for the beak/gobbler. Set the chocolate candy on its side so it looks more like a beak. Add 4-5 candy corn to make the turkey feathers.

Refrigerator: You can store them in the refrigerator for up to a week as long as they are covered tightly with plastic wrap or foil.
Freezer: Allow the brownies to cool completely before freezing. Cut the brownies into the circle shapes needed to make the turkey brownies. Place them in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months.
