This how-to is pretty simple, but it combines all the elements kids love on Halloween. Cupcakes. Cookies. Candy. I’m fairly sure it will go over just as well with adults.

ingredients:
cupcakes
frosting
sprinkles
bat cookies
dum dum lollipops

I bake the bat cookies the day before and keep them in a sealed container. It makes for quicker assembly, and who has time to be fooling around last minute?

For these cupcakes I made, seeing as it was Halloween and all, and I thought it’d go good with the chocolate bats. Chocolate bats on chocolate cupcakes would have been good too. Mmm. Chocolate overload.

After the cupcakes cool, frost them. I used white chocolate and chocolate frosting to give some variation, it looked really nice when served. I edged the cupcakes in different colored sprinkles, it added a lot of color and texture too them, without going overboard on the decoration. Not a fan of going nuts with the decor, nope.

I then placed the Dum Dum lollipop towards the ‘back’ of the cupcake, to act as a little stand for the bat. Now place the bat near the front and lean it on the lollipop. You won’t really need to add anything to make it stick, it should stay put just fine.

I recommend assembly right before serving, if you do it ahead of time, your bats may get soft, the moisture in the frosting will creep into your little bats.

This is a fun party food, Trick or Treat!
