CREEPY CRAWLY SPIDER CUPCAKES

"Turn innocent cupcakes into scary black spiders with black-tinted frosting, black string licorice and other assorted candies."



1 (2-layer size) package chocolate cake mix
1 teaspoon McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract
1 (16 ounces) container chocolate frosting
McCormick Black Food Color
Assorted decorations, such as chocolate sprinkles, black string licorice, red candy-coated pieces and white chocolate chips

Prepare cake mix as directed on package, adding vanilla.

Bake as directed on package for cupcakes. Cool cupcakes on wire rack.

Tint frosting black with 1/2 teaspoon black food color.

Frost cupcakes, mounding frosting in center of cupcake to create a dome shape. Sprinkle cupcakes with chocolate sprinkles.

Cut string licorice into 2-inch lengths and use for the spider legs. Attach candy-coated pieces to flat side of chocolate chips with some frosting. Use for the eyes.

TIP:
For easier measurement, 1/4 tsp. Food Color = 20 to 25 drops
