A Cute Spooky Treat
We love Halloween and all of the cuteness that comes with it! Because we love the holiday so much, we always have at least one Halloween party (or two) and especially love to have all the festive Halloween food to go with it (Mummy Dogs, Halloween Pizza, Halloween Brownies, etc.) Since the desserts are always everyone’s favorite part, we wanted to add to the fun by making these cookies and cream Halloween cupcakes since cupcakes are perfect for sharing and a fabulous canvas for creativity (the kids LOVE to decorate them at parties). Whether you’re hosting a Halloween party, trick-or-treating, or simply having fun with the kids, these goodies are sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike.
