Halloween Cupcakes

These were so much fun to make. PS. the web is edible...the spiders were just cutesy decoration!

INGREDIENTS:

1 box German Chocolate cake mix, prepared as directed on box
1 tub Dark Chocolate Fudge frosting
2 cups white chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:

  1. To Make the Cupcakes: Place 24 paper liners in muffin pans, then fill each liner two-thirds full with prepared German Chocolate Cake mix . Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes, then set aside until cool.
  2. Transfer a container of Dark Chocolate Fudge frosting into a bowl, microwave for 10 seconds, and stir; repeat until thin enough to pour. Dip cupcake upside down into frosting, submerging the top but not touching liner to frosting. Let excess drip off before turning upright. Continue until all cupcakes are glazed.
  3. To Make the Web Topper: Microwave white-chocolate chips in a bowl for 30 seconds and stir. Continue to microwave in 20-second intervals until almost melted. Stir again until chocolate is completely melted. Pour inside a freezer bag with one tip snipped off to create a piping sleeve. (I used a decorators bag with a #3 tip)
  4. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Slide spiderweb template underneath paper. To make each web, use piping sleeve to trace white chocolate along design, making sure to connect all lines. Repeat process until you've created 24 toppers. Chill them in refrigerator for 10 minutes. Then, using a spatula, remove webs carefully from parchment and position one on each cupcake.
