How to make Spider Web Cupcakes
Frost cupcakes with the chocolate frosting.
Melt white chocolate per package directions and put in a small plastic bag for piping. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, pipe spider webs with the white chocolate, a bit larger than the cupcake tops. Let dry.
Melt the black chocolate per package directions and put in a small plastic bag for piping. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, pipe small spiders. I started with a dime-sized dot of chocolate, add 4 legs on each side. Sprinkle the black sugar over the spiders and place an M&M on the chocolate dot. Let dry.
After the chocolate is completely dry, peel off the paper. Set the web on each cupcake, and set a spider on top of each web.
There you have it: Fun and delicious Halloween dessert idea!
Enjoy your adorable Spider Web Cupcakes! Store them in an airtight container until you’re ready to serve them. Kids and adults of all ages are going to love these adorable themed treats, and they won’t have to know how easy they really were!
