I know it may seem crazy to some of you, but I am not a pie fan. I just don’t love pie crust! My husband would be ashamed that I am admitting this, but it is true. I would rather have a brownie or cake any day! 🙂
If you have kids (or adults) who aren’t fans of pie, we have the perfect Thanksgiving treat for them! Your kids can even help make them to entertain them while the rest of your feast is being prepared!

1 1/2 cups chocolate sprinkles
2 cups candy corn
48 Wilton candy eyeballs (found at major grocery stores or HERE)
Red frosting
Directions:
Prepare cake mix according to package directions to make 24 cupcakes. Bake and let cool completely. Frost each cupcake with chocolate frosting.
