This is a fun, cost-effective, and family-friendly baking craft to get your kids ready for Halloween!


Ingredients
Preparation
  1. Lightly brush Muffin Makers with oil.  
  2. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat cake mix with egg, milk, oil, and vanilla for 2 min on medium. Gently stir in boiling water until smooth (batter will be thin).  
  3. Divide batter evenly into pans, filling cavities about 34 full.  
  4. In two batches, microwave on high for 2 min 30 sec. Rest in pan 5 min; invert onto wire rack to cool. Or, bake in preheated 350° F oven 15–18 min. Cool in pan 10 min, then unmold.  
  5. Meanwhile, in a 4-cup, microwavable bowl, microwave candy melts on high for 60–90 sec or until melted, stirring every 30 seconds.
  6. Spoon small dollop of melted chocolate onto each baked cupcake and top with a marshmallow.
  7. Divide remaining melted chocolate onto top of each marshmallow—use a generous amount so it oozes down the sides. Place two chocolate chips on the front of each marshmallow to make eyes.  
Tips

Instead of chocolate chips, use candy eyeballs for an extra spooky ghost! If you can’t find them in the baking section of your grocery store, try a craft shop.
