13 Great Halloween Treat Recipes

Find a colorful baking-cup selection at your local crafts store or supermarket. Then mix up your favorite cake mix or cake recipe, filling the baking cups in the cupcake pan about half full. Cupcakes will bake at the same temperature called for in the cake recipe, but baking time will be reduced by one-third or one-half. To decorate, use purchased frosting or homemade butter frosting with orange food coloring. Look in supermarkets and candy stores for black gumdrops (which can be cut into shapes), licorice whips, jelly beans and black sugar.
