Look out! This crazy cupcake only has eyes for you. Don't worry though, he's delicious! —Karen Tack, Riverside, Connecticut Ingredients:
1 can (16 ounces) vanilla frosting |
neon green food coloring |
6 chocolate or vanilla cupcakes baked in black foil liners |
1/4 cup purple sprinkles |
black licorice laces |
50 mini marshmallows |
1 tube (4.25 ounces) brown decorating frosting |
50 red mini m&m's or red-hot candies |
Directions:
1. Tint the vanilla frosting neon green with the food coloring. Spread a generous mound of frosting on top of the cupcakes. While frosting is still wet, sprinkle the tops with the purple sprinkles.
2. Cut the black licorice laces into about 50 pieces about 3 to 5 in. long. Insert one end of the laces into the side of the marshmallows. Pipe a small dot of the brown decorating frosting on one flat end of the marshmallow and attach a red M&M to make an eyeball.
3. Insert the licorice laces, 8 to 10 per cupcake, as the wild eyes on top of each cupcake. Repeat with the remaining licorice, marshmallow eyes and cupcakes. Yield: 6 cupcakes.
