This is a fantastic way to dress up a packaged cake mix to suit Halloween. Kids of all ages will be thrilled to discover a fluffy green filling inside these chocolate cupcakes. The green drizzle on top completes the look.—Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Prep: 30 min. Bake: 20 min. + cooling

Yield: 24 Servings

30 20 50

Ingredients

1 package chocolate cake mix (regular size)
FILLING:
1/4 cup shortening
3 tablespoons butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
8 drops green food coloring, optional
FROSTING:
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup baking cocoa
2 tablespoons milk
GLAZE:
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon milk
6 drops green food coloring

Directions

Prepare cake mix batter according to package directions; fill 24 paper-lined muffin cups. Bake at 375° for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For filling, cream the shortening, butter, confectioners' sugar, milk and food coloring until light and fluffy. Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert #7 round tip. Add filling. Push the tip through the bottoms of paper liners to fill cupcakes (the top of the cupcakes will begin to expand when they are full).
In a small bowl, combine the frosting ingredients; frost cupcakes. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over frosting. Yield: 2 dozen.

This is a wonderful fun cupcake and as a family, the kids and I had fun making them. The cake, filling and frosting were excellent and the cupcakes lasted all of 2 days with friends invited to share.
