Halloween will be here soon! What kind of festive witchy treats do you plan to make? Time to grab some Halloween decorations and make some brightly colored frosting.
We have been making these Chocolate Party Cupcakes for years – a birthday and special occasion tradition at our house. Cathy Oesterling shared this recipe with me when we were working for University Extension together. It is so fun to use favorite traditional recipes for family gatherings. It creates memories and makes them extra special.
Easy to make! These cupcakes are made from a chocolate cake mix, with a cream cheese and chocolate chip filling added. So each bite of cupcake has a bit of chocolate, a bit of cream cheese and some tasty chocolate chips…YUM!
Pipe your favorite frosting, or the buttercream frosting in the recipe below, on top of the cupcakes once they are cool. Tint the frosting with bright colors, like lime green and neon orange. Top with Halloween decorations and fall colored sprinkles.
These little witches hats are from the Fancy Flours website. They offer so many creative baking decorations and cooking supplies for cakes, cookies and candy. So many ideas for your festive holiday baking, no matter what the season.
Have fun making spooky and festive Halloween treats!
