Wormy Chocolate Cupcakes

Cookware Sets

You'll need:

• ½ cup of water
• 1 cup granola oil
• 4 eggs
• 1 box ( 18 oz.) cake mix with pudding
• 1 cup of ready to spread chocolate frosting
• 24 gummy worms

What to Do:

Set the oven 350 degrees and preheat. Prepare muffin pan by placing paper cupcake liners into the muffin cups. Spray with a non-stick cooking spray evenly. In a mixing bowl, whisk together water and oil then add the eggs and continue whisking until blended. Gradually add the cake mix powder and stir to combine well. Fill the paper lines 2/3 full of the batter and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the cupcake comes out clean.

When done, take out cupcakes from muffin pan and transfer to a wire rack until slightly cool. Make a coin-size hole in the center of each cupcake. Place your prepared frosting inside a parchment paper or a baggie and squeeze into the cupcake holes. Press a gummy worm into the frosting of each cupcake.

Creepy Chocolate Ice-Cream Cups

You'll need:

• 10 graham cracker tart shells
• 10 scoops of vanilla ice cream
• 20 chocolate cream filled cookies, crumbled
• 20 red M&M candy pieces
• 20 pieces of black shoestring licorice, cut into fourths

How to Make It:

Arrange graham cracker shells on a baking pan. Fill each shell with 1 scoop of ice cream then top with the crumbled cookies coating heavily. Freeze for 30 minutes to one hour, or until the ice cream has hardened. Press 2 M&M's into the front to look like red eyes, and press 8 strips of licorice into each ice cream scoop to form the spider's legs. Return to the freezer until serving time.

Chocolate Ghost Bites

You'll need:

• 2 pkg. (12 squares) white Chocolate
• 1/4 cup whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon of butter, softened
• Decorating gel

How to Make It:

Melt the chocolate squares, cream and butter in the microwave for 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute. When the chocolate is completely melted, cover. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour or more. When chocolate is cool enough to handle, scoop with a spoon and roll chocolate mixture into bite-size spooky balls. Place the balls into a waxed paper and freeze for 20 minutes. Use a decorating gel to draw eyes on the frozen spooky balls to resemble ghosts. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This will make your chocolate spookies firm upon serving.

You will be amused how kids will respond to the ideas. They will be thrilled at first to touch the scary chocolate bites yet at the end they will eat them all. You may wrap the squirmy chocolate cupcakes in decorative plastic wrap to give as giveaway. These ideas also go for adults!
