Reese’s Cup Werewolf Cupcakes

Published: Sep 30, 2016 · Recipe by: Beth · This post may contain affiliate links.

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.

Reese's Cup Werewolf Cupcakes decorated with chocolate frosting, a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, Whoppers, a candy bone, and a white chocolate moon.

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.

Reese's Cup Werewolf cupcakes decorated with a mini Reese's Cup snout, a Black M&M nose, yellow candy eyes, white chocolate fangs, malt ball arms, and a candy bone.

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.

Be sure to watch the 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.

How to make and decorate Reese's Cup Werewolf Cupcakes. They are great treats for Halloween.

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

    1. Spread Light Cocoa Candy Melts over the Reese’s Cup.
    2. Using a food use only paintbrush press the brush into the wet candy melts and pull up quickly creating furry spikes.
    3. Attach a mini Reese’s Cup snout and brush candy melts all around it making it furry too.
    4. Attach a black candy nose and yellow candy eyes using more candy melts.
    5. Pop the Reese’s Cup into the freezer for 1 minute.
    6. Cut ears from two candy melt wafers and attach them to the Reese’s Cup and make them furry using more candy melts.
    7. Either pipe on white candy melt fangs or attach 4 small white heart sprinkles for fangs using more light cocoa candy melts.
    8. Pipe a candy moon with a pick attached onto a piece of parchment paper.
    9. Freeze candy moon for 3-5 minutes until the candy hardens.
    10. Insert the pick into the frosting so the moon sits behind the werewolf.

    These look so cute and I amgoing to make these for work. Do you know if they transport well or fall over easily. I will be driving about 5 miles. Not a lot of traffic. Thanks, Barbara

    P.S Just about fell over with glee when I saw these.

      I’m so happy to hear you plan to make these Werewolf Cupcakes. I would recommend placing the finished cupcakes down into a cupcake pan to keep them from falling over during transport. If you are able to keep them flat in your car, you should be fine! I hope your coworkers love them!
