Mini Spooky Spider Cupcakes Recipe
One of my favorite things about Halloween is all the treats. My girls helped me make these little spiders. They are so easy and turned out darling!
Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces Devils Food Cake Mix
- 16 ounces chocolate frosting Reserve 2 Tablespoons in a plastic bag for your glue
- 1 cup chocolate sprinkles
- 24 mini marshmallows
- ¼ cup mini M&Ms
- 5 pieces red pull n peel licorice
Instructions
- PREPARE THE CAKE MIX ACCORDING TO THE PACKAGE INSTRUCTIONS.
- LINE MINI CUPCAKE PAN WITH SMALL PAPER-LINERS. FILL LINER WITH ABOUT 1 TABLESPOON OF BATTER
- BAKE IN A PREHEATED 350°F FOR ABOUT 10 TO 12 MINUTES OR UNTIL NO LONGER GOOEY IN THE MIDDLE. WATCH THEM CLOSE SO THEY DON'T BURN. TRANSFER TO A WIRE RACK, AND COOL COMPLETELY.
- SPREAD THE TOPS OF THE CUPCAKES WITH THE FROSTING. THEN, COAT THE TOPS WITH THE CHOCOLATE SPRINKLES.
- CUT THE MARSHMALLOWS IN HALF CROSSWISE. USING THE RESERVED FROSTING IN A BAG - CUT A SMALL HOLE IN THE CORNER OF THE BAG. ATTACH TWO HALVED MARSHMALLOW PIECES TO EACH CUPCAKE AS EYES. DOT THE CENTER OF EACH MARSHMALLOW PIECE WITH FROSTING AND ATTACH M&M?S. MAKE SURE THE M&M'S ARE FACING IN SO THEY DON'T HAVE M'S ON THEIR EYES.
- CUT EACH LICORICE LACE INTO ONE INCH 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. I USED 8 PIECES FOR 8 LEGS.
Notes
QUICK TIP : IF YOU PUT ON THICK FROSTING, IT WILL BE EASIER TO STICK YOUR LICORICE LEGS IN
