These Halloween Kitty Cupcakes sure are a (cute) fright, and they go so well with my Halloween Kitty Cookies… you could make it a theme!
Halloween Kitty Cupcakes
Ingredients:
½ C. butter, softened to room temperature
2 eggs
1 C. milk
1 tsp. white vinegar
1 ½ C. flour
1 C. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/3 C. cocoa powder
Other products needed:
Chocolate chips
Green M&M’s – check your local grocers bulk food section. I was able to find just green chocolate candies without having to buy a huge bag of M&M’s
Wilton black edible marker (located in the Wilton aisle at major retailers and craft stores)
Valentine sprinkle hearts (I turned them upside down for a nose). You could also use pumpkin sprinkles if you don’t have Valentine sprinkles lying around.
One container of chocolate frosting
Cupcake Directions:
#1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease 12ct. cupcake tin.
#2. In a medium bowl combine the ½ cup of softened butter, 2 eggs, milk, sugar and vinegar. Beat until smooth.
#3. In a separate bowl combine the flour,baking soda, salt and cocoa powder. Mix well and slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients stirring until smooth and all lumps are gone.
#4. Pour the batter evenly into the cupcake tin and bake 19-21 minutes. Around 19 minutes insert a clean toothpick into the cupcakes and if it comes out clean they are done.
Allow the cupcakes to cool completely prior to decorating.
Kitty Directions:
#1. Using the Wilton edible marker, you are going to draw on the eye onto the back of 24 green chocolate candies to use as the kitty’s eyes.
#2. Next, generously frost each cupcake with chocolate frosting. Give each cupcake 2 green eyes and 2 ears using the chocolate chips. Finally, add the nose.
Repeat will all the cupcakes and voila, you have Halloween Kitties.
*Makes approximately 12 Kitty cupcakes. 1 cupcake = 1 serving.
