Halloween worm cupcakes
Create these gruesome Halloween worm cupcakes for the kids this October. They're much easier to make than you may think.
Included in our round-up of the best Halloween cupcakes, each chocolate cupcake is dusted with crushed chocolate biscuits and topped with fudge worms moulded and shaped with your hands. These cupcakes should take about 20-30 mins to decorate. Each worm is made from fudge which is actually easy to mould and work with using this technique.
Ingredients
- 1 batch chocolate cupcakes
- 8 dark chocolate biscuits
- 36 x 2cm cubes of fudge
Step 1
Start by baking the chocolate cupcakes. Leave to cool.
Step 2
Ice the cupcakes by placing a fair sized blob in the middle of the cupcake and patting the top until the icing reaches the paper cases.
Step 3
Place the chocolate biscuits in the sandwich bag and crush the bag with a rolling pin until you have crumbs.
Step 4
Place the crumbs into a dish and push the cupcakes into the crumbs so they stick onto the buttercream.
Step 5
To make the worms, knead and roll each piece of fudge until you have long worms. Using a cocktail stick or pin tool emboss little lines along the worm and place it onto the chocolate crumbs.
