These graveyard cupcakes are easy to make with store-bought cupcakes and cookies. Pipe chocolate frosting onto each cupcake, coat with crushed chocolate cookie crumbs, and top with a Nutter Butter tombstone bearing a RIP message. Perfect for a Halloween party treat.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Take all six Nutter Butters and slice each one in half, yielding twelve pieces.
  2. Using black cookie icing and a toothpick, inscribe the letters 'R.I.P.' onto the rounded side of each half. Allow the icing to dry completely.
  3. Grind the six chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor by pulsing until they become a fine powder.
  4. Apply chocolate frosting to each cupcake with a piping bag, starting at the center and spiraling outward.
  5. Turn each frosted cupcake upside down and dip it into the cookie crumbs so they stick to the frosting.
  6. Insert one decorated cookie half, rounded side up, into the top of each cupcake.
