Halloween Spider Cupcakes

This recipe is for the chocolate fans out there! Celebrate Halloween with delectable and scary Spider Cupcakes! The frosting itself is the most delicious thing ever so save the recipe to make another batch for Thanksgiving (without the eyes of course).

If you are hosting a party or attending a Pot Luck, take these Spider Cupcakes with you, I promise they will be a hit with adults and children everywhere.

I used a spider mold for these but you can also use some black licorice for the creepy crawly legs. My spiders had 3 eyes but you child can help you decorate them any way they’d like.

Halloween is one of my favorite Holiday for baking, you can have so much making delicious and weird concoctions. I can’t sleep at night because my mind is running wild with great ideas to make. There is just so much to create: spiders, witches, blood, monsters, jack-o-lanterns.. Colors, patterns, flavors, you, name it.

But for flavors, I love simple down to earth chocolate and vanilla. Adding to much candy, too much food coloring can really ruin your taste buds.

To make your Spider Cupcakes simply make cupcakes using any box mix. Try using cute cupcake liners or black ones so they can look really creepy.

Next make the frosting using the recipe below). Frost your cupcakes using a spatula or a butter knife and decorate them with the eyes and legs.

My daughters LOVE the frosting and decorating part. Each one made their own version of spiders and the results were really cute. I couldn’t take a picture because of course, they ate them all.

I hope you try this recipe at home and let me know how it turned out.
