Enjoy this recipe as written below. Or try these easy upgrades:
- Candy Swap. Sneak your favorite candy in the middle – Halloween M & M’s, candy corn, or mix and match (toss in some candy eyeballs for fun!)
- Pumpkin Spice Surprise. Leave out the candy and pipe in some pumpkin spice frosting for a real taste of fall!
- Jack O’ Lantern. Move the stem and leaf a little off-center and use a black icing pen to draw small triangle eyes, nose, and Jack O’ Lantern mouth on each cupcake.
