This is a favorite at our halloween party every year.

Check out our Once Bitten Twice Shy cupcakes…

WHAT YOU NEED:

1 box store bought red velvet cupcakes

3 large eggs

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 1/4 cup milk

1 container white cream cheese frosting

1/4 cup raspberry

6 drops red food coloring

1 T water

24 cup cake liners

WHAT TO DO:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Line your cupcake pan with your cupcake liners.  Set aside.

In a large bowl combine your cake mix, eggs, milk and oil.  Blend on low speed for 30 seconds.  Increase speed to medium and mix for 2 minutes.  Pour batter equally into cupcakes liners (makes 24 cupcakes) and bake for 19-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

While the cupcakes bake, mix your “blood.”  In a small bowl combine jelly, food coloring and water.  Mix until it is a blood like consistency.  I pour my mixture into a plastic squeeze bottle but you can just use a spoon if you don’t have one.

Once your cupcakes are cool, frost with cream cheese frosting.  Next take a stake like object (a candle, a kobob skewer, a sharp knife) and make two holes, like vampires teeth.  Then fill the holes with blood allowing it to drip down.  Voila…Your cupcakes have been bitten!
