Ingredients
Donut Base
- 6 Glazed Donuts and/or Chocolate Frosted Donuts, Store-Bought
- 6 Plain Donut Holes and/or Chocolate Sprinkle Donut Holes, Store-Bought
Decorations
- 12 Mini Candy Eyes
- 3 Red M&Ms
- 3 Orange M&Ms
- 42 Candy Corn pieces
- 1/3 Cup Chocolate Frosting
Instructions
- Prepare M&Ms. Cut each M&M in half and set them aside for later decorating.
- Attach Donut Holes. Insert a donut hole into the hole of each full-sized donut. Use a butter knife to apply small dabs of chocolate frosting to help secure the donut holes in place.
- Arrange Candy Corn Feathers. On the back half of each donut, create a fan shape with candy corn pieces. Use a butter knife to add dabs of chocolate frosting to keep the candy corn securely attached.
- Add Candy Eyes and Beak. Use a toothpick with a dab of chocolate frosting to place two candy eyes onto the top of each donut hole. Then, position one half orange M&M horizontally just below the eyes to serve as the beak. Next to the beak, place one half red M&M vertically for added detail, securing all pieces with frosting.
- Set and Serve. Allow the chocolate frosting to set for about 10 minutes before serving to ensure all decorations hold firmly. Enjoy your festive Candy Corn Turkey Donuts!
Notes
- You can mix and match glazed or chocolate frosted donuts based on your preference.
- If you don’t have mini candy eyes, small white and black icing dots can be used as a substitute.
- The chocolate frosting acts as glue, so ensure you use enough to keep decorations attached.
- These treats are best served the same day for freshness, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to a day.
