I saw this on someone's blog and I had to get it down so I could try to make it next year...

Ingredients:

12 cupcakes, prepared

1 (8 ounce) bag brach's maple nut decorative candies

1 (8 ounce) can white frosting

1 (5 ounce) package yellow gel food coloring

1/4 cup non-pareils (red or green)

1/2 cup chocolate chips or 1/2 cup butterscotch chips

1 (12 ounce) package cookies (any kind)

1/2 cup yellow frosting (for the 'plate')

Directions:

1. Bake and cool your favorite cupcake recipe.
2. Place frosting on the cupcake and top each with a cookie while the frosting is soft to 'adhere' the cookie-plate to the cupcake.
3. Slice the maple nut candies thin and layer them as 'turkey'.
4. Dab some white frosting next to it for 'mashed potatoes' followed with a little dab of yellow gel food color as 'butter'.
5. Melt your butterscotch or chocolate chips and thin with a little vegetable oil.
6. Drizzle over the 'turkey' as gravy.
7. Finish it off with the 'cranberries' (red colored sugar or non-perils) and little green 'peas' or 'beans'.
