HALLOWEEN SPIDER CUPCAKES

We have a Halloween get together every year and every year I try to find a fun dessert that my girls can make with me.   This year I found a really cute recipe for Spider Cupcakes that were super simple to make, easy for my girls to decorate and yummy for the kids (and some of the adults too!) !




HALLOWEEN SPIDER CUPCAKES 

• 1 box of your favorite chocolate boxed cake (along w/ iingredients included on box to make the boxed cake)
• 1 can of orange frosting ( or you can tint white frosting w/ orange food coloring)
• Oreo cookies
• M & M's
• Black licorice whips or licorice
• Cute cupcake holders

1. Make cake according to box directions.  Bake cupcakes and cook according to directions.
2. Once cupcakes are completely cook frost cupcakes w/ orange frosting.
3. Place one oreo cookie in center of each frosted cupcake.
4. Stick two m & m's on oreo cookies to look like eyes.  Use drops of orange frosting to stick the m & m's on.
5. Cute licorice into pieces and place on cupcake to make them look like spider legs.
