Turkey Brownie Balls

Ingredients

• ¾ cups Melted Butter
• 1-½ cup Sugar
• 1-½ teaspoon Vanilla
• 3 whole Eggs
• ½ cups Cocoa
• ¾ cups All-purpose Flour
• ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• _____
• DECORATIONS:
• Edible Marker
• 1 bag Candy Corn
• 1 box Whoppers
• 1 box Cherry Passion Tic-Tacs
• 1 bag Peppermint Pearls
• 1 box (7 Oz.) Melting Chocolate

Preparation Instructions

For the brownies:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Beat together butter, sugar, vanilla, and eggs. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients and then slowly add the dry mixture to the wet. Mix in the chocolate chips until well-combined.

Pour batter into a 9×13″ well-greased pan and bake for 22-25 minutes. Let brownies cool.

With your hands, form 1″ balls with the cooled brownies. Lay them on a parchment-paper-lined cookie sheet and chill them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour.

To decorate:

Use the edible marker to draw pupils on the peppermint pearls.

Melt 1 square of baking chocolate according to the package’s directions. Using a toothpick, use the melted chocolate as glue to attach the pearls and Tic Tacs to the Whoppers. Let these dry for about 20 minutes.

Melt 1 box (6 squares) of baking chocolate according to the package’s directions. Dunk each brownie ball into the melted chocolate with a spoon, tapping the spoon on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Place the ball back on the parchment-paper-covered cookie sheet, and immediately attach the Whopper head and 3 candy corns (this takes some finesse, trust me).

Allow them to dry and start listening for the “awwwws.”
