Halloween is nearly here, and what better way to follow up trick-or-treating than with a good horror film and some snacks. Today I’m going to share with you a recipe I plan to try on Halloween night. The original source for this recipe can be found here.
To make these delicious cupcakes, you’ll need:
- A batch of baked cupcakes
- Wax paper
- Confectioner’s/icing sugar
- Rolling pin
- Marshmallows
- Kitchen scissors
- White frosting
- Chocolate nonpareil candies (or oreos)
- Chocolate-covered raisins
Given that it is the Halloween season and stores are absolutely stocked full of candy, there’s an abundance of choices to use when decorating the cupcakes. However, I plan on sticking with the original decorations to go with some chocolate cupcakes. You can’t go wrong with chocolates and marshmallows.
1) Dust the marshmallows with icing sugar and roll them flat with a rolling pin.
2) Cut the marshmallow into strips with the scissors.
3) Frost the cupcakes and decorate with the two cookie portions of an Oreo or chocolate nonpareil candies to resemble ears. Add chocolate covered raisins for the eyes.
4) Place the marshmallow all over the cupcake, leaving only the eyes exposed. Trim around the cupcakes to take off excess marshmallow strips.
And there you have it, a simple and delicious treat on the night of Halloween. Go ahead and get creative, you can make a variety of spooky cupcakes such as these:
Jack Skellington cupcakes: black and white frosting
Creepy eyeball cupcakes: white and blue frosting, raspberry jam, and chocolate raisins
Spider Cupcakes: orange frosting, black liquorice, Oreo, and green jellybeans
