Turkey Brownies

I got the idea for these from Erica's Sweet Tooth but I made a few changes :)

How To:
       1) Bake a box of brownie mix in a 13x9 pan
       2) Roll the baked brownies into balls, this is easiest when
           they are still warm, only make the bodies
       3) Instead of dipping them in chocolate I dipped them in
           melted chocolate frosting
       4) Next I stuck a whopper onto the frosting coated body
       5) Stick 3 candy corns behind the turkey's head
       6) Now let the frosting cool and harden before decorating the
           faces :)
       7) The faces are really easy, pipe on short lines of vanilla
            frosting for the eyes and using a black decorating gel
            place a dot of black on each eye, try to keep them from
            being cross eyed if you can :P.
8) I made their beaks out of yellow fondant, mold the fondant into a beak shape, dab the side that will be attached to the whopper with
    a small bit of water and stick the beak to the whopper.
9) Share with family and friends !

Using a king size muffin pan I made tye dye cupcakes, swirled frosting on them, sprinkled on round sprinkles, stuck an old fashioned stick candy in and topped it with a red gumball :)

Hot Cocoa Cupcakes

These are not hot chocolate flavored they just look like cups of hot chocolate <3

How To:

1) Bake cupcakes

2) Wrap a tall layer of fondant around the the cupcake, it should be taller than the cupcake because it will be filled with frosting.

3) To keep the fondant wrapped you may need to use a little bit of water (it makes the fondant sticky so it will stick to itself)

4) Once the fondant has set melt some chocolate frosting and drizzle it over the cupcake so it fills up your fondant cup

5) Stick a few mini marshmallows into the melted frosting

6) Finally, roll small pieces of fondant into Cs and using water stick them onto the cups as a handle

S'more Pops

These are easy, quick, and cute.

To make these:

1) Melt chocolate

2) Dip the tip of the stick in the chocolate and then 2/3 of the way into a marshmallow

3) Let that cool

4) Break Graham Crackers into crumbs in a small prep bowl

5) Dip the top half of the marshmallow into chocolate

6) Then dip it directly into the cracker crumbs

7) Let cool completely

8) Share and enjoy :)

Using a brownie pop mold bake regular brownies, to bring them to the next level drizzle a light colored chocolate over them. Mmm!

Cake Pops

Cake Pops! Yum!

These are very easy once you know what they are made of, my advice for these is to stay away from "cake pop molds" or cookie pans they are a waste of your time and won't make a real cake pop. The reason those won't work is because they completely exclude the frosting step which makes the cake pops moist and delicious.

How to make cake pops:

1) Make a regular sheet cake from a box of cake mix

2) Let that cake cool COMPLETELY

3) Crumble the cake into a large bowl

4) Add 1/3-1/2 a can of frosting into the crumbs

5) Mix, the mixture should be able to be molded

6) Roll the mixture into balls

7) Melt chocolate

8) Dip the stick into the chocolate and then into a cake ball

9) Let that cool so you can pick up the cake ball by the stick

10) Dip the cake ball into the melted chocolate

11) Place the stick into a block of Styrofoam to cool
