Halloween spider cupcakes - Real Recipes from Mums

Serves 3
2 minutes
Difficulty Easy
3 Ingredients

So simple, I’m embarrassed to call it a recipe! Dead-easy to make for trick-or-treaters or for your own little monsters.

Pair it up with some Spider drinks for a seriously fun time!

Ingredients (serves 3)

1 packet store bought cupcakes
1 small packet of pretzels
1 small packet of smarties

Method

Break pretzels in half and push them into the sides of the cupcakes. Do 4 per side.
Push two matching smarties into the front of the cupcakes for eyes.
Done, voila!

Notes

You can always make these cupcakes from scratch to minimise the sugar in these spider cupcakes, but if you're pushed for time - most large supermarkets have pre-made cupcakes.

Doesn’t matter if they’re store bought!
So good if you don’t have the time.
Thank you for sharing! Definitely great for mums who are super busy and can’t get to baking.

  Yeah buying ones from the supermarket is easier if you don’t have time, but if you do making them yourself is cheaper
