These cute Halloween Cupcakes are my favorite type - ghosts made from stuffed marshmallow sitting on a red velvet cupcake with candy melt poured over the top.
Heat the oven to 350°F and line a cupcake tray with cupcake cases.
Mix the cupcake mix, eggs, water and oil in a large mixing bowl. Divide batter between each cupcake liner to about ¾ full.
Bake for 15 minutes then remove and allow to cool completely.
Place a marshmallow on top of each cupcake.
Melt the candy wafers in the microwave on 50% power, in 30-second bursts until completely melted. Add a teaspoon of vegetable shortening if you need to thin it a little.
Using a spoon pour the melted candy over the top of each marshmallow, just enough to allow it to reach the bottom of the marshmallow and a little past.
While the candy is still wet place two candy eyes on the ghost.
Notes
If you have trouble with the marshmallows staying still you could use a toothpick to hold them in place.
