Ingredients

1 box Chocolate Cake mix + box ingredients

1 cup softened Butter

1 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar

7 oz Marshmallow Creme

1/2 tsp Vanilla

Chocolate Chips or Gray/Black round cake decorations

Directions

Bake the cupcakes following the package instructions, then let them cool completely.

In a bowl, beat the softened butter and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until the mixture becomes light and airy.

Slowly add the powdered sugar, beating continuously until it is fully blended.

Gently mix in the marshmallow creme until the frosting is smooth and uniform.

Spoon the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a round tip.

Pipe a swirl of frosting onto each cooled cupcake, then press on mini chocolate chips for eyes and a larger chocolate chip or a cake decoration for the mouth to create a ghost face.

Chill the cupcakes in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve them.
