Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Spider Cupcakes
1 box Spice Cake Mix
15 oz can Pumpkin Pie
1/2 cup Applesauce
3 Eggs
3/4 cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
Mix first four ingredients until blended, then add the chocolate chips. Pour 1/4 cup of cake batter into 24 cupcake liners. Bake at 340 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Once the cupcakes are cool to the touch, place them in these spider leg cupcake frames. I got them on sale at Micheal's... 4 for $2.75.
Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
1 stick Butter- room temperature
1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
4 cups Powdered Sugar
2 Tablespoons Milk
Cream butter, then add other ingredients. Mix until incorporated, scraping the sides frequently.
Place the chocolate frosting in a pastry bag with Wilton Tip #233 (the grass tip) attached. Squeeze the pastry bag, and let the frosting begin to fall onto the cupcake in random formations until the top is covered.
Place to Royal Icing Eyes (found HERE for an excellent price) on each cupcake.
Set it out as a spooky surprise for the kids and watch their faces light up:)
