These Halloween cupcakes start with a basic chocolate cake mix, making them quick and easy. After baking, they’re frosted with orange buttercream and topped with festive sprinkles. Perfect for parties or trick-or-treat treats.

Directions

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place paper liners in a muffin tin.

In a big bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs until the batter is smooth.

Fill each liner about two-thirds full. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, testing with a toothpick—it should come out clean when done. Allow them to cool completely.

Top the cooled cupcakes with buttercream that has been tinted orange, then add Halloween-themed sprinkles.
