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.

EASY MUMMY CUPCAKES
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.

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:
- To make the mummy cupcakes, you will need the following ingredients: chocolate cupcakes, white frosting, black decorator's gel, candy eyes, and gauze.
- Start by baking the chocolate cupcakes according to the package directions. Let them cool completely before frosting.
- Once the cupcakes are cool, frost them with the white frosting. Leave a small space at the top of the cupcake unfrosted for the mummy's eyes.
- Draw two eyes on the unfrosted space with the black decorator's gel. Then, add the candy eyes on top of the black gel.
- Cut the gauze into strips about 1-inch wide and 6-inches long. Wrap the strips around the cupcake, starting at the bottom and working your way up to the top.
- Leave a small gap between each layer of gauze so that the white frosting can show through. This will create the mummy's bandages.
Conclusion:
These mummy cupcakes are a fun and easy Halloween treat that is sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create these spooky cupcakes that are perfect for Halloween parties or gatherings. So, get creative and have fun making your own mummy cupcakes this Halloween!
