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

  1. Prepare M&Ms. Cut each M&M in half and set them aside for later decorating.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
