Aside from turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, roasted ham, pumpkin pie and all those other mouth-watering foods you eat at Thanksgiving, it's a nice reminder that there are other things to be thankful for like these adorable pilgrim cupcakes.
Mounted on each cupcake is a little pilgrim boy and girl made with mini cupcakes, Reese's mini peanut butter cups, chocolate wafers, decorating gel and lots of icing. If there are any peanut allergies, simply replace them with caramel Rolos or even another mini cupcake. These pilgrim cupcakes are smothered in gooey icing and taste best when eaten immediately. There's so much sugar in this smiley snack that one should probably be limited to two to avoid any unnecessary sugar highs.
