1 can frosting (my cake mix came with frosting mix which I
dyed black)
Sprinkles
12 Reese’s peanut butter cups
24 mini Oreo cookies
24 edible candy eyeballs (I found mine at Target, they sell
them at Hobby Lobby too)
12 orange yogurt covered raisins (I found these in the
Halloween candy isle at Target)
2 ounces chocolate CandiQuik
12 short lollipop sticks
Instructions:
1. Bake the cupcakes according to the package directions. I used a pumpkin spice cupcake mix from
target. I would also recommend a
regular chocolate cake mix if you’re not a pumpkin person. Let them cool completely once out of
the oven. I made my own frosting
because the cupcake package came with a mix but if yours doesn’t chocolate
frosting works just as well. The
package came with white cream cheese frosting so I dyed it black to be
spookier. Frost and top your
cupcakes with sprinkles then set them aside.
3. Use a sharp knife and cut a small circle into the side of
the Resse’s peanut butter cup. Dip
the end of the lollipop stick into the chocolate and very carefully insert the
stick into the cup.
4. Twist apart the Oreo cookies (you will need the side with
the frosting). Attach a candy
eyeball to the frosting using the melted chocolate. Attach the Oreo to the top of the Reese’s cup with more
chocolate. Dip the back of the raisin in chocolate and attach it to the
cup. Let set 10 minutes before
sticking the owl in the top of the cupcake. Makes 12 cupcakes.
Side note:
It’s helpful to use a toothpick to spread the chocolate onto the Oreos,
raisins and candy eyeballs.
Just because we can't Trick-or-Treat anymore doesn't mean we can't enjoy a sugar rush!
Until next time, cheers!
