Ingredients
Directions
- Let the cupcakes cool completely. Cut each marshmallow in half and place the halves on a wax paper-lined surface.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white candy melts and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Transfer the melted candy to a sandwich bag and snip a tiny corner. Pipe zigzag lines onto each marshmallow half to resemble mummy wrappings, then press two candy eyes onto each.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter, confectioners' sugar, and milk on medium speed, then increase to high until fluffy. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag and pipe a generous swirl onto each cupcake.
- Place a mummy marshmallow on top of each frosted cupcake. Serve and enjoy your spooky treats!
