Another sweet Halloween treat that is easy to make and perfect for both adults and kids. It's the half chocolate and half pumpkin cupcakes. This is inspired by the Neapolitan cupcakes, which is half chocolate and half vanilla or white chocolate, but instead I make the other half with pumpkin cupcake recipe. You can find the recipe for pumpkin cupcakes here and chocolate cupcakes click here.
Add chopped walnuts in both batches to give it some crunchy texture and because walnuts are so good for you. The original baking time for both cupcakes are around 20-22 minutes at 350F. However it seems that chocolate cupcakes take additional 6-7 minutes to cooked. Insert a toothpick into both sides make sure both sides are cooked perfectly.
Top them with the cream cheese frosting:
1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese
1/4 cup butter (soften)
2 cups of powdered sugar (shifted)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Cream together cream cheese and butter.
Add vanilla extract, then gradually stir in
powdered sugar.
For the final touch, I decorated it with fondant. I made my own fondant with marshmallows. It tastes better than the store-bought ones.
I'll post on how to make a the marshmallow fondant in a separate post.
