My kids, like millions of others, love cupcakes. However, two out of three of them don’t like frosting and that has forced me to get a little bit on the creative side of things. As a result, I am always trying to find alternative toppings and fillings to share.
We call these Ghost Popping Cupcakes & my friends say they are very boo-tiful – LOL! These are one of our frosting swap out, fun loving cupcake options for Halloween food ideas. Not only do we hope you love them as much as we do, I am hoping you and your family have one Howling Halloween.
Ghost Popping Cupcakes by Jodie Fitz
Cupcake recipe:
1 white cake mix
1 cup white chocolate morsels
¼ cup all purpose flour
Cupcake liners
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the cake mix as directed on the box using water, eggs and oil. Add in the additional ¼ cup of flour. Stir in the white chocolate morsels. Equally divide the batter amongst twenty-four lined cupcake tins. Bake as directed on the package for approximately 23 – 25 minutes.
This recipe yields 24 cupcakes.
Cupcake filling:
3 cups low fat milk
3 – 1 oz. packages of white chocolate pudding
6 oz. light whipped topping
Mix the pudding and milk together until it has thickened. Fold in the whipped topping.
Assembly:
Ziploc sandwich bag
Mini Chocolate Chips
Cut a cylinder shape from the top of each cupcake. Fill a Ziploc sandwich sized bag with the cupcake filling and seal the top. Using scissors clip a corner so that that the filling can be released. Fill each hollowed cupcake with the filling in a circular motion approximately four inches above the cupcake to create a ghost emerging from the cupcake. Add mini chocolate chips inserting the point first to create eyes and a mouth.
Keep chilled until served.
