So for the first of my fall food/dessert posts I chose to make Death by Chocolate and Creepy Crawler cupcakes. In all honestly, these cupcakes are super easy because I cheated all the away around. I bought boxed triple chocolate fudge cupcake mix, dark chocolate frosting, chocolate sprinkles and Twizzlers. Since I already had some left over candy eyes from my Minion cupcakes, I was all set to go. Just as an FYI, both cupcakes involve the same cupcake batter and frosting, the only difference is decorations. The end result turned out to be temptation in cupcake form.
Death by Chocolate and Creepy Crawler Cupcakes:
Ingredients:
-1 box chocolate cake mix
-1 can of dark chocolate frosting (homemade frosting is even better)
-Chocolate sprinkles
-Snickers
-Red or Black Twizzlers
-Candy eyes
1.) Bake cupcakes according to the instructions on the box.
2.) For the "Creepy Crawler" cupcakes, frost the cupcakes after they have cooled completely. Sprinkle the top with chocolate sprinkles until completely covered. Put a dab of chocolate frosting on the back of each candy eye and stick it into place. Last, but not least, use a toothpick or wooden skewer to poke six holes (3/side) on your cupcake and gently insert the Twizzlers.
3.) For the "Death by Chocolate" cupcakes, grab a bunch of fun-size Snicker bars and cut each bar into 4-5 pieces. Give each cupcake a nice, thick layer of frosting, and then randomly arrange the snickers pieces on the top.
4.) Fill a ziplock baggie with 2 heaping tbsps of dark chocolate frosting, carefully cut off the tip, and pipe random designs over the Snickers. Easy as pie, and they look absolutely sinful.
Enjoy!
