EASY HALLOWEEN MUMMY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners, preferable dark-colored or Halloween-themed ones.
• Combine cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened, about 30 seconds. Beat at medium speed until batter is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 21 minutes. Remove from oven and cool tins on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove cupcakes from the tins and cool completely on a wire rack before decorating, about 1 hour.
• Spoon frosting in an pastry bag or a plastic bag with the corner cut off. Pipe strands of frosting onto the top and bottom of the cupcakes, leaving an oval eye shape exposed in the middle. Pipe 2 dots in the exposed middle for the mummy's eyes. Place 2 chocolate chips flat-side up in the middle of each dot for the pupils.

EASY MARSHMALLOW FONDANT MUMMY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Reserve 1 cup marshmallows for later use. Microwave remaining marshmallows and water in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 3 to 4 min. or until marshmallows are puffed; stir until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture is well blended. (Caution: Mixture will be hot.)
• Add 1/4 cup shortening and vanilla to marshmallow mixture; stir until shortening is melted and mixture is well blended. Gradually add sugar, mixing well after each addition. Lightly coat work surface with remaining shortening. Add marshmallow fondant; knead until smooth.
• Spread cornstarch onto clean work surface. Add fondant; roll to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips with pizza cutter or sharp knife.
• Spread frosting onto tops of cupcakes. Decorate with fondant strips and chocolate morsels to resemble mummies as shown in photo.

EASY MUMMY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Line muffin tin with paper liners.
• Make cupcakes as per directions on the box.
• Let cupcakes cool completely.
• Stir frosting as per instructions on the container.
• Use a butter knife and frost part of each cupcake leaving a slit slightly off centered unfrosted. Leave knife marks on the frosting, do NOT make it smooth. See photo.
• Put the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and melt in the microwave on high for about 20 seconds. Time depends on your microwave.
• Remove and stir the chocolate with a spoon. You don't want to the chips completely melted at the end of the heat cycle. You want to melt it to the point where you can stir it and get the rest of the chips to melt in the mixture.
• Repeat until chocolate chips are melted.
• Place two matching (same color) skittles in the slit with no frosting on the cupcakes to make eyes. Please make sure the "s" stamped on one of the skittle is hidden on the underside and touching the cupcake; and the blank side up, facing outward.
• Then use a toothpick to dip dark chocolate in the center of the skittles to make a dot in the center of each eye, to make the eyes more interesting.
• You've got your Mummy cupcakes.
