As Charlie brown once said “I can’t cook a Thanksgiving dinner. All I can cook is cereal and maybe toast”. That’s me, I’m Charlie Brown. I can’t cook very well but I can definitely bake! I found the idea for these cute Charlie Brown Thanksgiving cupcakes and couldn’t wait to try them! The recipe is very simple. All you need is cupcake mix, frosting, toppings and a few arts and crafts materials.
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Cupcakes
Step #1
Go shopping. You will need the following and I have made it easy for you by linking everything to Amazon. You never even have to leave your house to make these!
- cupcake mix ( I used classic white),
- White frosting
- melba toasts
- popcorn
- pretzel twists
- small jelly beans
- tulip cupcake wrappers. I found mine at Ralph’s but you can find some on amazon.
- popsicle sticks
- Pilgrim Snoopy Clipart
- optional – Snoopy Thanksgiving napkins (I found mine at Marshall’s but they sell them on Amazon too)
Step #2
Print out as many Pilgrim Snoopy cliparts as you need onto white stockpaper. You can use the example below. Just click on the picture and it will take you a page with a variety of pilgrim Snoopy’s. Then trim them and glue them to the back of a popsicle stick.
Step #3
Bake cupcakes according to package. Pour them into baking cups.
Step #4
Frost the cupcakes. The frosting will help your toppings stay in place. Now place your Snoopy popsicle stick in the back.
Step #5
Add the melba toasts in the top left hand corner against Snoopy.
Step #6
Add the popcorn down the middle of the cupcake.
Step #7
Add pretzel twists to the right hand side.
Step #8
Add the jelly beans to the front left pocket. Now you are finished! Happy Thanksgiving Charlie Brown!
