Dark Chocolate Halloween Cups

I made these cups at one of my recent Pampered Chef parties.  The recipe uses 4 of my top selling (and favorite) PC products: the mini muffin pan, small scoop, tart shaper and easy accent decorator.  I use all three at least once a week.  These tasty bites cost less than $5.00 to make and your guest will come back for more, guaranteed! 

Ingredients: 

Dark Chocolate Cake Mix

1 egg

1/2  cup (or 1 stick)melted butter

Vanilla Frosting 

Red & Yellow Food Coloring

Directions: 

1. Melt your butter, add the cake mix and then the egg and mix together in the classic batter bowl. You'll have to put some muscle into the mixing.  

2. Once you get your  dough, simply scoop dough into a mini muffin pan. using the small scoop.  

3. Bake at 350* for 8-10 min 

4. When your cups come out of the oven they will be slightly brown, spray your mini tart shaper with cooking spray to help them not stick and press down the center of each cup. 

Once all the tops are pressed down, move to a cooling rack.

Once the cups have cooled, fill with your favorite frosting using the easy accent decorator.   

*Use the red and yellow food coloring to make the orange frosting for the festive cups.  

*You can use any cake mix and frosting combination for a variety of sweet treats!
