Instructions
Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cupcake pan with green cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat with a hand mixer on medium until incorporated.
- Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 full with the cake batter.
- Place into the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until done. Insert a toothpick and if it comes out clean or with moist crumbs, the cupcakes are done.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely. Work on making the Frankenstein cupcake toppers and frosting while waiting.
Frosting
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the butter, milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Beat on medium until the powdered sugar is incorporated.
- Add in the violet gel food coloring and beat for 1 minute until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Add the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a straight tip or coupler. Set aside.
Frankenstein Cupcakes
- Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Cut rice krispies treats in half.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the green and white candy melts and 1 tsp of the coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals until the candy melts are completely melted and smooth.
- Completely immerse each rice krispies treat into the melted candy and place gently on lined cookie sheet. Working quickly, place 2 eyes for each coated rice krispies treat. Allow to set.
- Melt chocolate candy melts and remaining coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals and dip the top part of your rice krispies treat in it. This will become Frankenstein’s hair. Place back on lined sheet and allow to set.
- Use black icing (I just used store-bought) to draw eyebrows and mouth.
Assemble
- Pipe a large mound of frosting on each cooled cupcake.
- Place the Frankenstein topper in the center of the cupcake pressing down gently.
- Add the black licorice on either side of Frankenstein for his bolts.
- Serve! Store in an airtight container.
