Who knew that with the help of a few mini marshmallows and mini chocolate chips you could make the cutest cupcakes… ever!?
Think outside the box with this unique, creative and super simple Halloween cupcake recipe.
Mini Skull Cakes
1 pkg. (2-layer size) white cake mix
1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1 pkg. (16 oz.) powdered sugar, sifted
12 JET-PUFFED Marshmallows, cut in half
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
PREPARE cake batter as directed on package; blend in dry pudding mix. Spoon into 24 paper-lined 2-1/2-inch muffin cups. Bake as directed on package for cupcakes. Cool completely.
BEAT cream cheese, butter and vanilla with mixer until well blended. Add sugar gradually, beating well after each addition.
PULL each cupcake liner partially away from cake. Place a marshmallow half between paper and cupcake to create skull’s jaw. Frost cupcakes with cream cheese mixture. Decorate with chocolate chips.
