Halloween Grave Cupcakes
These are cute and spooooky for Halloween. I first saw these ‘Buried Alive’ cupcakes in the Clare Crespo “Hey there cupcake” cookbook.
ingredients:
chocolate cupcakes
chocolate frosting
chocolate cookies, crushed
doll part arms
I found tiny doll arms at the local Stats, 24 for $1.59. Good deal for baby arms, I think, who knows. Freaky. Wash them. Dry them.
Make your chocolate cupcakes, set them aside. Now, for the ‘grave dirt’ I ground up some chocolate cookies – these from Trader Joe’s worked out well, but so do Oreos. The white middle part should just dissolve.
I really need a food processor – this one that is an attachment to my blender, ain’t cutting it. But the little rocky bits do make it more ‘dirt like.’
Now frost the cupcakes and dip them into your freshly ground chocolate cookie dirt. Ah, deliciously creepy goodness. Tombstones would be nice, but who has the time…

I made these this weekend and they were a big hit! I searched high and low for those doll arms, and finally snagged the last bag that my local Stats had, but it was worth it. Thanks for the awesome idea!

Get idea would love to make these but I cannot find the arms anywhere. Do you have any idea where to buy them?
