Add some fright to your bite with these deliciously scary Halloween cupcake recipes.
Turn an innocent cupcake into a terrifyingly tasty vampire bat with black licorice wheels and gumdrops.
A wickedly easy treat for a Halloween party, these little cakes will cast a spell over your guests.
Kids can craft a ghostly cupcake from simply a miniature marshmallow, 2 regular marshmallows, and 2 chocolate sprinkles.
Twist top of miniature marshmallow into a point by rolling it between your thumb and index finger. Trim all 3 marshmallows, and stick together. Twist top 2 slightly to shape. With a toothpick, poke holes, and insert sprinkle eyes.
More cute than creepy, these little cakes topped with mini marzipan pumpkins are the perfect addition to a Halloween spread.
To make this wicked candy witch, use a green gumdrop for a face, a piece of red gumdrop and a white sprinkle for the mouth, licorice for her hair and hat brim, and a black gumdrop molded into a triangle for the pointy witch's hat. Add two black sprinkles for the eyes, and a green mint for a nose.
Top these frosted Halloween cupcakes with sweet orange jellybeans or creepy black ones.
Stack three green gumdrops on top of each other to form Frankenstein's face and body. You'll need black licorice for his limbs and forehead, and a black gumdrop for the hair. A small piece of red licorice forms a grim mouth. Complete your monster by giving him two black sprinkle eyes, plus a tasty green nose.
Kids can help make these creepy cupcakes with cinnamon-candy eyes, marshmallow fangs, and licorice legs.
You will need a red sour belt, two yellow gumdrops, black and red shoestring licorice, and a white candy cake decoration for the eyeball. Cut sour belt into a tongue. Trim gumdrops and stick them together for head and body. Snip black licorice for arms, legs, and pupil and red licorice for mouth. Poke holes for eyeball, arms, and legs, and scrape away sugar for mouth and tongue; place those pieces. Use tiny dabs of "glue" from a gumdrop to secure pupil to eyeball.
