Chocolate Halloween Cupcake Toppers

I'm all about the easy things that look like I did a lot of work.  For our Halloween party this year, we're doing a fun scary, not creepy scary theme and I'm using purples and greens to keep it a little lighter.  So, we have a pretty fab dessert buffet planned and I wanted something cute for the cupcakes and I remembered these that I made last year.  PERFECT, so I decided to re-create them.


  1. Go to the store and buy a package of candy melts, I bought the white ones that are vanilla flavored.
  2. Melt in the microwave according to directions.  Stir.
  3. Add food coloring {I use Americolor} to achieve perfect monster green.
  4. Pour into piping bag {or a sandwich sized plastic bag} cut off tip of bag.
  5. Lay out a piece of waxed paper.Make an X.
  6. Make another X on top of that.
  7. Connect the lines, add a little dip in each connector if you choose.
  8. Sprinkle liberally with green sanding sugar if you'd like.
  9. Stick in the fridge until ready to use!
Could not be easier and they look rather fancy. 
 
Happy Halloween!
