Ingredients

  • ¾ Cup butter (180g)
  • 7 oz 70% dark chocolate (200g) do not use low chocolate with low cocoa content as it won't work
  • 1+¼ Cups sugar (250g)
  • 3 Medium eggs
  • ¾ Cup all-purpose flour (100g)
  • 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
  • ¾ Cup milk chocolate chips (100g)
Topping:
  • 1 Tub chocolate frosting (keep at least 1 tablespoon aside to use as your 'glue')
  • 16 Giant chocolate buttons or peanut butter cups
  • 160 Mini M&Ms or Reese's pieces (red, yellow, orange and brown)
  • 32 Edible candy eyes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 320°F/160℃ and line an 8x8-inch tin with baking paper. If you're using a convection or fan oven, set your oven to 290℉/140℃ instead.
  2. Melt the dark chocolate and the butter together over low heat in a saucepan then set aside.
  3. Place the sugar and eggs into a large bowl. Use an electric whisk or stand mixer to whisk them together for a few minutes until pale and silky.
  4. Fold your melted chocolate/butter into the bowl then gently stir in the flour and cocoa powder.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips then transfer the brownie batter to your lined tin.
  6. Bake for around 35-40 minutes until the brownies have risen and are pulling away from the tin slightly.
  7. Leave the brownies in the tin until cool then freeze them for 90 minutes until firm.
Topping:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Remove the brownie from the tin, spread the chocolate frosting on top then cut into 16 slices.
  2. Using leftover frosting, stick 2 candy eyes and one orange candy onto each chocolate button to make 16 turkey faces (a toothpick is handy to do this). Then stick one face onto each brownie slice.
  3. Use the remaining candies to decorate around the top half of the brownies to make the turkey feathers.

Notes

  • Make sure the brownies are completely cool before decorating.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
