M&M'S Ghoul's Mix Milk Chocolate Halloween Candy

1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners; set aside. Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Using half of the batter, fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full (bake remaining batter as cupcakes or reserve for another use). Bake according to package directions. Let cool completely.
2
Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese until lightly and fluffy; beat in butter and icing sugar until smooth.
3
Using paring knife, cut out 1-inch wide cone-shaped piece from top of each cupcake without cutting through to bottom or sides of the cupcakes.
4
Reserve 24 M&M’S® Milk Chocolate Ghoul’s Mix. Fill each cupcake cutout with remaining Milk Chocolate Ghoul’s Mix.
5
Transfer icing to piping bag fitted with medium round tip. Pipe frosting evenly over cupcakes. Decorate top of each cupcake with 2 reserved M&M’S® to resemble eyes. Pipe two lines of red gel icing onto each cupcake to resemble dripping blood from a vampire bite.
Tip
Alternatively, use store-bought cheesecake frosting or vanilla buttercream if preferred.
