Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 oz.) vanilla cake mix
  • 6 (3.6 oz.) Halloween Fun Size or Minis Chocolate Halloween Candies, chopped
  • 1 tub (16 oz.) dark chocolate frosting
  • 48 small candy eyes
  • 24 chocolate chips
  • 48 peanut halves

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large shallow baking pan with foil. Place a wire rack on pan. Spray rack lightly with no stick cooking spray. Arrange wings in single layer on rack. Sprinkle evenly with OLD BAY Seasoning.
  2. Scrape two tablespoons batter into each muffin cup, reserving remaining batter for another use.
  3. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until tester inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool completely on rack.
  4. Spoon frosting into piping bag fitted with small star tip. Starting from center, pipe spikes all over top of each cupcake to resemble fur, ears and whiskers of a “werewolf.” Decorate each cupcake with two candy eyes, chocolate chip for nose and two peanut halves for fangs.
Tips:
  • For more elaborate decoration, pipe red mouth onto each cupcake with a tube of red icing.
