Reese’s & M&M’s Frankenstein Cupcakes

How perfect are these for Halloween. Just when you think all of the creative ideas are taken in walks Frankenstein.  The chocolate chips are actually supposed to be Frankenstein’s bolts but they start to get confusing with his eyes.  Try them with and without the bolts.  HINT – They taste the same.  The other tricky part of these cupcakes are the eyes.  In the recipe they use white chocolate melted down topped with M&M’s.  I cheated.  I always have some Wilton candy Eyeballs around he house.  They are edible and take 2 seconds to pop on.  Melting down the chocolate was just a little too much for me.

These are as scarey as they are tasty.  Hit the recipe button and BAKE!!

Halloween Devils Food Spider Cupcakes with Ganache Frosting

More Halloween cupcakes! This will probably be the first of 3 spider recipes. With all the gorgeous cupcake pictures on the internet and in blogs I grab only the ones with detailed, easy to make recipes. For spiders I have found about 6 or 7 that look great and are easy to execute. My only recommendation with these are for the spider eyes. Kids like buggier eyes, so you can buy some candy eyes instead of the silver dragees as the recipe suggests! Other than that, these devils food creations are delightful.

Halloween-Thanksgiving Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes With Mascarpone Cream Cheese Frosting

I’m slightly embarrassed to admit, I had no idea what Mascarpone cheese was. After some time on Google I found out that I knew what it was, I just didn’t know what it was called. It’s an Italian cream cheese but with a citrus taste. If you’ve ever had a really good Tiramisu, you better believe it’s made with Mascarpone!
Just think about a cupcake made with this same Cream Cheese. The Results are just divine! Hit the recipe button and start baking!

Halloween Worms in Dirt Cupcakes!

These are perfect for Halloween, Earth Day, or Father’s Day if Dad is a fisherman. There are a lot of recipes around the net, but I chose this one because it’s crystal clear with tons of pictures on how to make the dirt topping. The better you make the dirt, the more you get the effect of the worm coming out of the cupcake. You can either use gummy worms like those shown, or get some tootsie rolls heat them and roll them thin. Either way these are almost all ways a hit. Click below to get the recipe!!

Halloween Marshmallow Skeleton Cupcakes [Recipe]

I love these cupcakes because they look so much harder to make then they really are.  The key to this is the white chocolate covered pretzel bodies.  When you first glance at the skeleton, you can quickly see that the head is a marshmallow but it’s hard to tell what the ribcage is made from, until you know it’s a pretzel, in fact 3 pretzels.  Upon closer look you can see the arms are pretzels as well. Pure Genius.  A hit at any Halloween party.  Click the link below for the recipe, it’s complete step by step including photos.
