How to Make Frankenstein Rice Krispies Cupcakes

Ingredients

24 chocolate cupcakes
4 cups buttercream frosting
1 teaspoon violet gel food coloring
12 packages rice cereal treats
½ cup green candy melts
½ cup white candy melts
48 candy eyes
½ cup brown candy melts
2 teaspoons coconut oil, divided
48 small black licorice
Black decorating icing

rice krispies treats, black licorice, chocolate cupcake, and candy eyes to make Halloween cupcakes

Instructions

For the cupcakes, you can use either box cake mix, your favorite recipe or ready-made from your neighborhood bakery. Use Halloween-themed liners for the best effect and make sure the cupcakes are completely cooled before decorating.

In a bowl, beat butter, powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and violet food coloring on slow speed, gradually increasing to high, until smooth, fluffy and evenly tinted. Frost each cupcake generously.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine green candy melts, white candy melts and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and completely melted.

Cut cereal treats in half and dip each into the melted candy to fully coat. Carefully place in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place 2 eyes on each coated cereal treat and 2 licorice pieces on the side to resemble Frankenstein’s monster’s bolt. Allow to set.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine brown candy melts and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and completely melted.

Using the black frosting, draw eyebrows and a smile to complete face. Carefully place each decorated cereal treat on top of each cupcake.
