Ingredients
Cupcakes
- 1 box Krusteaz Pumpkin Spice Quick Bread Mix
Decorations
- 1 can frosting white
- 1 bottle food coloring orange, green
- 5 oz. chocolate chips (as desired)
- licorice wheels black
Instructions
Cupcakes
- Bake muffin mix as directed by box. Allow to cool completely.
Decorations
- Divide the frosting into three bowls. Color 1/4 of the frosting orange, and the remainder two different shades of green. Set frostings aside.
- To create the burning logs, cut two pretzels in half. Dip ends into orange frosting. Set the four pretzel halves together in an X on a baking sheet. The frosting should hold them together. Place baking sheet in refrigerator to harden.
Assembly
- Flip cupcakes upside-down. Scoop out a 1/2" cavity from each cupcake.
- Fill cupcake hollow with green frosting and swirl around, creating a two-toned look.
- Melt the chocolate chips and pour into piping bag (or zip-top bag).
- Cut licorice into 4" pieces. Use melted chocolate to secure each end of a piece of licorice to opposite sides of cupcake (as a handle).
- Use melted chocolate to secure pretzel fire to bottom (rounded) of each cupcake.
