Description

Trick or treat! These cute Halloween cupcakes remind me of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, one of my favorite Halloween candy bars. Sooo good!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CUPCAKES:
  • 1 whole (about 18.25 Oz. Box) Betty Crocker SuperMoist Chocolate Devil's Food Cake Mix
  • 1-⅓ cup Water
  • ½ cups Vegetable Oil
  • 3 whole Eggs
  • _____
  • FOR THE PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING:
  • 1-½ cup Peanut Butter
  • 1-½ cup Icing Sugar
  • ¼ cups Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • _____
  • FOR THE MERINGUE GHOSTS:
  • 4 whole Egg Whites
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Cornstarch
  • 48 whole Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Bake cupcakes in lined cupcake pans according to directions on the cake mix box (using the water, oil, and eggs in the ingredient list).

Prepare frosting by creaming together peanut butter and icing sugar, then adding in milk and vanilla. Set aside.

For the meringue, beat eggs whites until soft peaks form. Add sugar then beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in corn starch. Spoon meringue into a plastic bag, cut corner to create a hole. Squeeze meringue out on a baking sheet lined with foil and greased with cooking spray, to form 24 ghost shapes. Add 2 chocolate chips to each for eyes. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes. Let cool.

Once cupcakes have cooled, ice with frosting, and top with meringue ghosts.

Makes 24 cupcakes. Boo!
