Ghostly cupcakes

I stumbled across this recipe for these adorable and easy to make Halloween ghost cupcakes over at Better Homes & Gardens

Marshmallow creme is the secret behind these ghosts.

To make it, follow these steps:

1.     Start with frosted store-bought or homemade cupcakes.

2.     Microwave 1 cup marshmallow creme (enough for 8 cupcakes) in a microwave-safe bowl on High for 20 seconds or until warm. Cool slightly. Place in a large heavy-duty resealable plastic bag; snip one corner and pipe a ghost shape onto each cupcake.

3.     Quickly attach chocolate chips or other small candies for ghost eyes and mouth before marshmallow creme sets.

Easy peasy!!
