Time 2h3m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 (18.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix (such as Duncan Hines®)
1 cup water
3 eggs
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 (16 ounce) can vanilla frosting
48 chocolate chips

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners, preferable dark-colored or Halloween-themed ones.
Combine cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened, about 30 seconds. Beat at medium speed until batter is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 21 minutes. Remove from oven and cool tins on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove cupcakes from the tins and cool completely on a wire rack before decorating, about 1 hour.
Spoon frosting in an pastry bag or a plastic bag with the corner cut off. Pipe strands of frosting onto the top and bottom of the cupcakes, leaving an oval eye shape exposed in the middle. Pipe 2 dots in the exposed middle for the mummy's eyes. Place 2 chocolate chips flat-side up in the middle of each dot for the pupils.

These are high on the easy and cute factors and low on the cuisine factor. But my kids loved them and they helped me decorate. Time does not include cooling time after baking.

Time 50m

Yield 24 cupcakes, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box chocolate cake mix (any brand)
1 1/4 cups water (or as recommended on cake mix directions)
1/3 cup vegetable oil (or as recommended on cake mix directions)
3 eggs (or as recommended on cake mix directions)
1 (12 ounce) can white frosting
48 pieces Skittles candies
4 ounces dark chocolate chips
toothpick

Steps:

Line muffin tin with paper liners.
Make cupcakes as per directions on the box.
Let cupcakes cool completely.
Stir frosting as per instructions on the container.
Use a butter knife and frost part of each cupcake leaving a slit slightly off centered unfrosted. Leave knife marks on the frosting, do NOT make it smooth. See photo.
Put the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and melt in the microwave on high for about 20 seconds. Time depends on your microwave.
Remove and stir the chocolate with a spoon. You don't want to the chips completely melted at the end of the heat cycle. You want to melt it to the point where you can stir it and get the rest of the chips to melt in the mixture.
Repeat until chocolate chips are melted.
Place two matching (same color) skittles in the slit with no frosting on the cupcakes to make eyes. Please make sure the "s" stamped on one of the skittle is hidden on the underside and touching the cupcake; and the blank side up, facing outward.
Then use a toothpick to dip dark chocolate in the center of the skittles to make a dot in the center of each eye, to make the eyes more interesting.
You've got your Mummy cupcakes.

Tips:

Use a cupcake mix that you like. Any flavor will work, but chocolate or vanilla are classic choices.
If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziploc bag with the corner snipped off.
To make the mummy bandages, use white frosting. You can also use vanilla frosting and add a drop of black food coloring.
To make the mummy eyes, use candy eyes. You can also use chocolate chips or mini M&Ms.
If you are making the cupcakes ahead of time, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Let them come to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

Mummy cupcakes are a fun and festive treat for Halloween. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a spooky and delicious dessert that will be a hit at your next Halloween party.
