The weeks are flying by … can you believe it’s mid November?
These little goodies are quick, easy and can be made now and kept until Thanksgiving. The kids could help too!
This is what you will need …
Dip the tip of the lollipop stick in melted dark chocolate … then poke it in the marshmallow … set it aside to firm up. This will help prevent the marshmallow from slipping around on the stick and create a clean line of chocolate on the stick …
Dip the marshmallow in the chocolate … tap off excess chocolate and place in styrofoam or similar holder. Then pop them in the fridge or freeze for a few minutes to firm up …
Lay out some chocolate cookie wafers on a cookie sheet (break off any uneven pieces) … dip 1/4 to 1/3 of the chocolate marshmallow in a contrasting color … then place it on top of a cookie …
Use the marker (edible of course) to draw a buckle …
I told you that this project was fast and easy!
I ♥ comments …

Cornucopia or horn of plenty? Either way … I think of it as a traditional Thanksgiving symbol.
These are very easy to make and I did find the pumpkins that seemed difficult to locate … i just had to try a different grocery store!
Don’t forget to enter the giveaway … it ends in a few days!
This is what you will need for today’s cupcake project …
Bugles … that I had to wrestle away from son #2 (he claims they were in an “undesignated” area of the kitchen!), melted chocolate, candy pumpkins, chocolate jimmies and leaf or fall colored jimmies …
cupcakes and frosting … I used my light chocolate icing and a Wilton #1M tip
Pipe the icing in a swirl motion … starting on the outside edge of the cupcake … *helpful hint … take the cupcakes out of the pan FIRST … I don’t know what I was thinking … I usually end up sticking my finger in the icing when I do it this way, duh!
Add some sprinkles …
Now make the cornucopia … I used a lollipop stick to hold the Bugle while spooning melted chocolate over it … tap off the excess chocolate …
Stand the chocolate Bugles and put in the fridge to firm up …
Dip the Bugle edge in melted chocolate and immediately dip in chocolate jimmies …
Then place it right on a cupcake and add a pumpkin …
Tomorrow … more marshmallows …

It’s November … let the holidays begin!!! Have you been to any stores in the last few days? The ones that have visited are definitely geared up for the holiday season.
Most of us have many ideas, plans and goals for the upcoming holidays. I want to share my Thanksgiving ideas with you and then move on.
Here is the first cupcake idea for Thanksgiving … my favorite Peanut Butter Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting that I have shared before. The reasons that I chose peanut butter are …
… or …
Of course, you could make them any flavor you wish
This is what you will need … I tried to give options …
First, place the tail feathers on your turkey cupcake body …
Now, assemble the turkey heads. Use a toothpick and a little icing to “glue” everything in place. Tweezers may be helpful. I do think they are starting to develop personality …
Place the heads on the cupcakes …
They need feet …
They do make me smile … I named this one Mr. Turkey Lurkey …
