Dessert: Spider Cupcakes Recipe
Ingredients
1 package chocolate cake mix (regular size)
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
12 large marshmallows
Sprinkles
24 miniature marshmallows, cut in half
48 M&M's minis
192 pieces black licorice (3 inches)
Instructions
Prepare cake mix batter according to package directions.
Fill 24 paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350 ° for 21-26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For frosting, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa, butter and milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla.
Cool to 110 °. Transfer to a large bowl. Beat until thickened and mixture begins to lose its gloss, about 8 minutes.
Cut large marshmallows in half crosswise; place a half on each cupcake. Frost marshmallow and top of cupcake. Dip cupcakes in sprinkles. Place a dab of frosting on each miniature marshmallow and press on to cupcakes. Place a dab of frosting on each M&M and press on to marshmallows for eyes.
For spider legs, use a metal or wooden skewer to poke four holes on opposite sides of cupcakes; insert a piece of licorice into each hole.
