    Step 2

    Sprinkle each brownie with white sprinkles.

    Step 3

    To create eyes, arrange 2 butterscotch candies near top of 1 brownie and press gently to secure. Using small offset spatula or knife, place small dollop of frosting onto 1 black M&M, then gently press into 1 butterscotch. Repeat with second M&M on second butterscotch. To create nose, place 1 cashew between butterscotch eyes and press gently to secure. To create feathers, arrange about 7 pieces candy corn above eyes and press gently to secure. Decorate remaining brownies in same manner.
