Although I may not be dressing up this Halloween, I still plan to fully part take in all the holiday's yummy treats. Pinterest is loaded with inspiration for unique and fun desserts and that's where I found this recipe for Mini Triple-Treat Cupcakes from Martha Stewart. If you've seen any of the Halloween editions of Martha Stewart's Living Magazine than you know she is the queen of all things Halloween. To make this recipe even easier I cheated with a boxed cake mix (shh don't tell Martha!) and made them full size rather than mini because a) I didn't have mini cupcake liners or muffin pans and b) I didn't feel like making 48 of these treats. It's all about improvising!
Simply make cupcakes according to directions on the box and then add about 1/2 cup of peanut butter. I used some homemade honey peanut butter (post coming soon!) but feel free to use whatever you have on hand. Fill up the liners and then pop a mini Reese's in the middle in the middle of each so the batter aligns with the top of the candy. Then bake for about 19 minutes.
Once they're out of the oven, immediately place a candy corn on each Reese's so that they'll stick into the melted chocolate. That's all. Halloween treats complete. I can't wait to share these with my nieces!
And because nothing says Happy Halloween more than forcing your nieces to pose with a Captain Jack Sparrow impersonator.
