These are the Halloween recipes featured on the morning show. I got the recipes from a website called brightideas.com. They were VERY easy and a lot fun to make. I would love to see and YOUR recipe ideas. Please send them my way!!!
Spider Cupcakes
Ingredients:
1 box (18.25 oz.) Devil’s Food cake mix
1 can (16 oz.) dark chocolate frosting
1 can (10.5 oz.) chocolate sprinkles 24 large marshmallows ¼ cup M&M’S® Brand Chocolate Candies
48 red or black licorice laces 1 toothpick
Directions:
1. Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions.
2. Line cupcake pans with paper-liners. Fill each cup with 2/3 cup of batter.
3. Bake in a preheated 350°F for 18-21 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and cool completely.
4. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the chocolate frosting in a resealable plastic bag.
5. Spread the tops of the cupcakes with the remaining frosting. Then, coat the tops with the chocolate sprinkles.
6. Cut the marshmallows in half crosswise. Using the reserved frosting, attach two marshmallow pieces to each cupcake as eyes. Dot the center of each marshmallow piece with frosting and attach M&M’S® Brand Chocolate Candies. Then, attach another marshmallow piece with frosting and attach M&M’S® Brand Chocolate Candies for the mouth.
7. Cut each licorice lace into four equal pieces. Press four holes into 2 sides of each cupcake using the toothpick. Insert a licorice piece into each hole for each spider’s legs, 8 pieces per cupcake.
Eye Ball Cupcakes
1 box (18.25 oz.) your favorite cake mix (I used red velvet)
1 can (16 oz.) vanilla frosting
1 tube (6 oz.) blue decorating icing
1 tube (0.68 oz.) red decorating gel
24 M&M’S® Brand Peanut Butter Chocolate Candies
24 paper cupcake liners 2 regular-size cupcake pans
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line the cupcake pans with the paper cupcake liners.
2. Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions. Fill cups with 2/3 cup of batter. Bake for 18-21 minutes.
3. Remove pans from oven, transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
4. To decorate: Frost the cupcake tops with the vanilla icing. Use the blue icing to pipe a 1-1/2 inch circle in the middle of each cupcake. Place one M&M’S® Brand Peanut Butter Chocolate Candies in the center of each blue circle.
5. Make squiggly lines using the red gel, starting at the blue circle and going to the edge of each cupcake.
