How to Decorate Brownies for Thanksgiving
Gather your ingredients:
Use your favorite boxed brownie mix or homemade brownie recipe.
Make sure your brownies are fully cooled and slightly firm to hold the decorations without crumbling.
To decorate brownies as turkeys for Thanksgiving, start by cutting your baked brownies into squares or circles for the turkey body.
For the turkey’s feathers, place candy corn in a fan shape at the back of each brownie.
Add candy eyes and use a small red candy or frosting for the beak.
Use chocolate frosting or melted chocolate as a “glue” for the decorations.
