Halloween Cupcakes (Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Icing)


I made these cupcakes for a Halloween party I went to last week and they were a big hit! I used my "go to" chocolate cake recipe for the cupcakes and my new favorite vanilla icing with a little bit of orange food coloring for the icing on top!

I also made little spider webs using chocolate almond bark. To do this I just put some melted almond bark into a sandwich baggie and cut off the tip of one of the corners. I used the baggie to pipe the spider webs onto cookie sheet. For a little more detail, read my cake decorating tip on piping with a baggie. 


Iced cupcakes!


Spider web cupcakes!


Don't they look so cute??

Nutter Butter Ghost Cookies

 
These are one of my favorite cookies to make for Halloween! They are perfect for Halloween parties, bake sales, or just for fun! And they are super easy!

To make them you will need:
  • 1 package WHITE ALMOND BARK (you will not need the whole package unless you are making A LOT of cookies)
  • 1 package NUTTER BUTTERS
  • 1 bag MINI CHOCOLATE CHIPS

Melt a few blocks of the almond bark in a small bowl. Dip a nutter butter cookie three fourths way into the almond bark so it looks like the picture above. Lay the cookie onto a piece of wax paper and then stick two mini chocolate chips into the almond bark as eyes. Let the almond bark set up and then serve! That's it!

The last time I made them was for a bake sale. Here are a few pictures of things other people made for the bake sale!
