These cupcakes were inspired by a photograph of cookies I came across in a magazine. The decorations were meant to top a thick, chocolate cookie but I decided to improvise and turn them into cupcakes for my students' Halloween party. I have been dying to make this design on cupcakes/cookies since the day I bought the magazine and I am so glad I finally got around to them! They came together quickly and are very impressive looking. I definitely made these for myself (and of course you!) because I am sure my kids will pull all of the decorations off and lick the frosting but that's ok- I love them!

Ingredients:
1 batch of cupcakes, frosted with vanilla icing
Pumpkin candies
Milk chocolate Twizzlers
Fall leaf sprinkles
Directions:
1- Cut the Twizzlers into 3 inch pieces. Take each piece and slice the top in half lengthwise. Turn the Twizzler and slice in the other direction.
2- Fan out the four "branches" of the Twizzler and push it into the icing.
3- Sprinkle on the fall leaf sprinkles around the "branches."
4- Lay a pumpkin down at the bottom!
