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!

I couldn’t find any cinnamon chips in my area when I wanted to make this so I ended up using vanilla chips instead. I had to make a second batch immediately since the first batch didn’t make it around the room for people before it was completely gone. I just added a bit more cinnamon to make up for the lack of cinnamon chips.

Cinnamon chips can be difficult to find. When I find some, I usually buy a couple bags. You can order them online or Hershey has a product finder so you can find a store near you that sells them: http://www.thehersheycompany.com/contact-us/locate-hard-to-find-products.aspx
oh wow, what a great twist on a classic!
