These Melted Witch Cupcakes are an easy and fun treat to make with the kids or serve at a Halloween party!

I’m pretty certain I’m way behind the ball on Halloween posts, especially seeing as it’s only a couple weeks away.

Since I don’t have kids and this month has been so insane and I’m more looking forward to my trip to Jamaica at the end of the month, I almost forgot about Halloween altogether.

But I always like to put out a few seasonal recipes, recipes that are fun and really bring the holiday to life. Halloween definitely isn’t my favorite, but I love the cute black cats, ghosts, and witches.

Each year we usually head to my parents for their annual Halloween party, but I’m not really sure what we’re doing this year.

Honestly, though, I’d be perfectly happy with staying home and watching Hocus Pocus or another Halloween Movie with Matt.

I struggled coming up with ideas for Halloween this year, sometimes I feel that because I don’t have kids and I’m not really a Halloween girl, it’s harder to find inspiration.

But when I was looking for some in some magazines, I saw this idea in Celebrate! and thought, “hey, I can make those!”

I used the general melted witch cupcakes idea and made them with my favorite chocolate cupcake recipe and my whipped vanilla frosting (dyed green).

I wanted to keep the flavors simple for these cupcakes since there are so many fun add-ons with the Oreos, Kisses, and gummies!

I think they turned out super cute! Plus you can watch the video below to see just how easy they are to assemble!

See, aren’t they the cutest! They are perfect for your Halloween parties or to send the kids off to school with! Don’t forget to make my Goosebumps Punch too!
