INGREDIENTS

  • Cupcake Base

    • 🧈 9 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
    • ¾ cup white sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 🥚 2 eggs
    • 1 ½ cups sifted self-rising flour
    • 🥛 ½ cup milk

  • Frosting & Decorations

    • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
    • 🧈 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
    • 🥛 1 tablespoon milk
    • 1 drop brown food coloring
    • 6 vanilla wafer cookies (such as Nilla®)
    • 12 red jelly beans
    • 24 candy eyeballs
    • 24 chewy chocolate-flavored candy (such as Tootsie Roll®)
    • 24 pretzels

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.

2

Combine butter, white sugar, and vanilla extract; beat until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, then fold in half the flour and 1/4 cup milk. Repeat with remaining flour and milk. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.

3

Bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.

4

Make frosting by mixing confectioners' sugar, butter, and milk. Adjust consistency with extra milk or water. Add food coloring and mix until fully brown.

5

Decorate cupcakes: Spread frosting thinly on top. Break cookies in half and place on each as mouths. Use jelly beans for noses, candy eyeballs for eyes, pretzels for antlers, and chewy candies as ears.
