Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
-
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
-
Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with the chocolate frosting.
-
Unwrap the Tootsie Rolls and microwave them for a few seconds to soften. Mold each Tootsie Roll into a goblin shape with pointy ears and a mouth.
-
Place a goblin Tootsie Roll on top of each cupcake.
-
Use a drop of green food coloring to draw eyes on the goblins using the candy eyeballs.
-
Let the cupcakes rest for 10 minutes to allow the frosting to set.
-
Serve and enjoy your Goblin Chocolate Tootsie Roll Cupcakes!
