Today my recipe of the day is for Gobble Them Up! cupcakes for Thanksgiving. You see what I did there with the “gobble” part, right? *laughs*

I thought they were so cute when I had seen the idea online, and thought they were adorable. But more than a recipe, it is about an idea- because really you can use any sort of cupcake in this. And you can dig around in the extra Halloween candy for some candy corn- but I am pretty sure that some places still have it available.

If not, you can always try online if you are pressed to find some in a hurry. The eyeball candies I see are still being marketed in the Christmas baking decor as snowman eyes so you should be all set. Otherwise I have included some online sources (through affiliate links) at the very bottom of the page.

I don’t usually see desserts dressed up for Thanksgiving, but I think the kids will go crazy over these. Pumpkin pie is great and all that, but I am not sure the kids like it the best. My daughter always preferred a cake. Unless I made a cream pie- she did like those.

But things like pumpkin pie and pecan pie, mincemeat (especially mincemeat) were always better preferred by the big people eating at the adult table.
