If you’re looking for a special treat to make for the kids on Thanksgiving Day, look no further!  These Thanksgiving Turkey Brownies are perfect for school parties or even as a fun dessert to serve for your family and friends on Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving Treats

I think it would even be fun to have the kids help decorate the Thanksgiving treats after the main meal.  A few years ago, I did something like this and had homemade donuts ready for the kids, big and little, decorate and enjoy.

These Thanksgiving turkey brownies are easy to make since the recipe starts with a boxed brownie mix and a few other candies that everyone loves!

How to Decorate the Turkey Brownies

  1. Once the brownies have cooled, cut them into 3 inch circles.
  2. Add a little icing to the back of a peanut butter cup to add the turkey body.
  3. 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.
  4. Add 4-5 candy corn to make the turkey feathers.

Baking 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!

Kids will love helping you at this point!
