Fun Halloween Cupcakes for Kids

Halloween Cupcake Recipe For Scary Ghost Cupcakes MAKE THE CUPCAKES Ingredients: • 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 egg whites from large eggs
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1 cup 2% milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, shortening, milk and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Mix at low speed for 2 minutes. Scrape bowl. Add egg whites and mix at high speed until fluffy and smooth, approximately 2 minutes. 3. Put cupcake liners in pan and fill 1/2 to 2/3 full of batter. Do not overfill. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. 4. Cool 10 minutes in pans then remove from pan, and place on wire racks to cool completely. MAKE THE FROSTING Ingredients: • 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 12 Nutter Butter cookies
• Edible color markers or black frosting and decorator’s writing tip
• Chocolate Frosting (or white frosting tinted orange)  Instructions: 1. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 1 cup white chocolate chips at 50 percent power for 45 seconds. Stir, then heat 30 seconds at 50 percent power. Stir. Repeat as necessary until white chocolate is almost melted, then stir until it is smooth, taking care not to burn the white chocolate.  2. Dip Nutter Butter three-fourths of the way into the white chocolate, or use a small flat spatula to spread the white chocolate over three-fourths of the cookie. (The uncoated end will go into the cupcake.) Set on wax paper to cool and harden. When the white chocolate has completely hardened, use edible decorator’s markers or frosting to paint eyes and mouths on the ghosts. Set aside. 3. Generously frost the cupcakes in chocolate or orange-colored icing. Press the “ghosts,” uncoated side down, into the center of the cakes.
