Happy Halloween Friends,

Surprise your favorite ghouls and ghosties with this sweet Halloween treat that's fun to make and even more fun to eat. They're easy enough to whip up that the kids can even help with the mixing, baking and decorating.

Ingredients:

• chocolate cake mix
• black cupcake liners
• vanilla frosting
• white fondant
• candy eyes
• pizza cutter/knife

Instructions:

1. Prepare cupcakes according to package directions and bake in black cupcake liners. Remove from oven and allow cupcakes to cool completely.
   
   
2. Top each cupcake with a thin layer of vanilla frosting. Roll out fondant to about the thickness of a fettuccine noodle. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut it into 1/4" wide strips.
   
   
3. Place fondant strips on top of the cupcake, layering the pieces as you go to resemble the look of a mummy's bandages.
   
   
4. When you're happy with the bandaged look, use a knife or kitchen scissors to cut off any extra fondant. Use your fingers to press the fondant layers and vanilla frosting together around the edges.
   
   
5. Finally, add candy eyes.

These chocolate cupcakes frosted with vanilla frosting and topped with sweet googly eyes are not only cute but delicious!

Bon Appétit...
