Easy, Impressive And Perfect For Halloween
Look at these bright beauties baked-up by Laurie and Nancy – don’t they just scream Halloween? That is not just chocolate cake in that bottom layer. It is brownie mix! Now have I got your attention?
That’s right, folks – these cupcakes are really two desserts combined into one flavorful, colorful and multi-textured cupcake! These are going to be a masterful stroke of genius at your Halloween party, and you are sure to get many recipe requests.
The only real trick to making them, since you are using pre-packaged mixes for both the cake and brownie portions, is in making sure that you only put the barest amount of brownie mix in the bottom of your cupcake liner. A spoonful means just that. If you don’t preserve the proportions of 1/3 brownie to 2/3 cake batter, the brownie portion will not fully cook in the allotted time. Remember, you only fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full, anyway, so that bottom layer of brownie mix needs to be quite thin.
Another word of caution is in order. Be sure that you test these with a toothpick before you take them from the oven. With the variance in oven temperature, you might find that you need to bake these for 20 minutes.

Quick Tip: Running around like a decapitated chicken trying to pull off the Halloween party of the decade? No worries, you can actually make these cupcakes ahead of time and freeze them. Just wait until the day you plan to serve them before adding the frosting.
