Bat Cupcakes

Bat Cupcakes are easy to make and are a great halloween treat for both kids and adults. The kids go wild when they see them.

Of course, you aren't limited to one kind of icing. Try coloring vanilla icing with food coloring. Last year we used a neon orange food coloring flavored with orange extract for the cupcakes. The orange color and flavor went well with the brown chocolate kisses.

Candy Corn is the only candy in the history of America that's never been advertised. And there's a reason. All of the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911.
