Halloween is just around the corner and even as an adult, Halloween never gets old.  I love all the fun costumes and creative snacks.  Here is a cute, easy cupcake recipe that will get you in the Halloween spirit.

Ingredients

• 24 cupcakes (baked from your favorite recipe.. I like Devil’s Foodcake)
• Orange frosting
• 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon of shortening
• Bugles Corn Snacks
• Chocolate-covered mints or cookies (such as Grasshopper Fudge Mints)

Recipe

1. Frost the cooled cupcakes with the orange frosting.
2. Melt the chocolate chips and shortening in the top of a double boiler or microwave. One at a time, dip the Bugles into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help coat them completely, then set each one on a chocolate-covered mint or cookie.
3. Chill the hats in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, then place each one on top of the cupcake.
