Spider Cupcakes

Makes 24 cupcakes

1 bag SNICKERS or MILKY WAY,

unwrapped and chopped

1 bag M&M's and M&M's Peanut Butter

1 18 oz box devil's food cake mix

1 16 oz container dark chocolate frosting

1 10.5 oz can chocolate sprinkles

24 large marshmellows

48 red licorice laces

2 12 cup regular-size cupcake pans

24 paper cupcake liners

Resealable plastic bag

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line the cupcake pans with the paper cupcake liners.

2. Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions.

3. Fold the chopped SNICKERS or MILKY WAY into the batter before filling the cupcake liners.

4. Bake for 18 to 21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in centers is clean when removed.

Remove from oven and transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

5. Place 2 tablespoons of the chocolate frosting in a redealable plastic bag and snip off a small

corner of the bag. Set aside.

6. Spread the cupcake tops with the remaining frosting. Then cover the tops with the chocolate

sprinkles.

7. Cut the marshmellows in half crosswise. Using the reserved frosting, attach two marshmellow pieces to each cupcake as eyes. Dot the center of each marshmellow piece with frosting, and attach M&M's. Then attach M&M's Peanut Butter for the mouths.

8. Cut each licorice lace into four equal pieces. Using a toothpick, press four holes into two sides of each cupcake. Insert a licorice piece into each hole for spiders' legs, eight pieces per cupcake.

I saw this in a magazine, and tried it. Believe me! IF I can do it, then anyone can. I suggest using MILKY WAY instead of SNICKERS. The peanuts from the SNICKERS taste funny. Well, that is what I thought. Wayne and my co-workers all said they like it. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
