Broken Glass Cupcakes for Halloween
Ingredients:
- 1 box of chocolate cupcake mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- Red, blue, and green food coloring
- 1 1/2 cups clear hard candies assorted colors
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- Halloween-themed cupcake toppers optional
- Black cupcake liners
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a cupcake pan with black cupcake liners
Prepare the chocolate cupcakes according to the package instructions
Let them cool completely
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup of water
Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves
Bring to a boil and cook without stirring until it reaches 300F 150C on a candy thermometer
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly
Break the clear hard candies into small pieces and place them in separate bowls
Add a few drops of red food coloring to one bowl, blue to another, and green to a third bowl
Mix until the candies are coated in color
Place parchment paper on a baking sheet and arrange the colored candies in a single layer, keeping the colors separate
Bake in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until the candies melt and spread to form broken glass shapes
Remove from the oven and let them cool completely
Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth
Carefully dip the top of each chocolate cupcake into the melted white chocolate, allowing it to drip down the sides like icing
While the white chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the broken glass candy pieces on top of the cupcakes to create a shattered glass effect
Optional: Decorate with Halloween-themed cupcake toppers for an extra spooky touch
Let the cupcakes sit until the white chocolate hardens and the glass is firmly attached
This should take about 30 minutes
Serve and enjoy your Halloween Broken Glass Cupcakes
