Halloween Cupcakes
I made cupcakes for the Monday Night Football game a couple weeks ago. Since I made 2 batches, I froze 1/2 to save for Halloween. I took the cupcakes and frosting out of the freezer on the 29th and put them into the fridge. Then on the 30th I took them out and set them on the counter for about an hour before decorating them.
I had a lot of fun decorating them and I think they turned out great. One note about black frosting – it stains your mouth really bad!! With the mini cupcakes for MNF, I don’t think anyone noticed, but I ate one of the orange cupcakes and my tongue and teeth were black until I drank a glass of water. I told hubby to warn his coworkers before they took one!

M&Ms were an inspired idea! And honestly, I think 3 layers was a better size. 5 layers is just too much as I ended up splitting the layers in half when I served it because they were just so big.
Thank you for the post-back!
This looks SO good. I just bookmarked it and I hope to try it in the next year since my bookmarked list is too long 😛 I think halving it is the way to go, it already looks pretty big. Mmm.
Wow, this looks pretty darn tasty! I love M&M’s.
