Reese’s Cup Werewolf Cupcakes

This Halloween turn store bought treats into adorably cute and slightly scary cupcake toppers. It’s easy to make a whole pack of these Reese’s Cup Werewolf Cupcakes for this fun holiday.

Don’t you just love these little guys?

If you would have walked into the room while I was making these Halloween treats you would have seen a big toothy grin on my face and my eyes as big as the moon. I was having so much fun creating these cupcakes that I even let out a little howl.

I hope when you make these yummy holiday desserts that you have so much fun that you feel like howling too.

I was having such a good time that I decided to make two versions of these Reese’s Cup Werewolf Cupcakes.

Some are furry and some are smooth. The furry ones take just a little bit more time to create than the plain ones, but both are equally cute.

Here’s a video showing you how to make the smooth version.

To make these sweet Werewolf Cupcakes:

• Attach a Mini Reese’s Cup snout, a black candy nose, two yellow candy eyes to the front of a Reese’s Cup using melted Light Cocoa Candy Melts.
• Cut two ears from Light Cocoa Candy Melt wafers and attach them to the Reese’s Cup using more melted Candy Melts.
• Pipe on fangs using Bright White Candy Melts.
• Press the werewolf onto a chocolate cupcake that is frosted with a swirl of chocolate frosting.
• Press a Whopper (malted milk ball) onto each side of the cupcake and attach a bloody candy bone.

If you want to make the furry version of these Reese’s Cup Werewolf Cupcakes follow the instructions below.
