A Quick Video Tutorial
When I first made this Halloween Graveyard Cupcake, I got so excited to see how it turned out. And it turned out better than my expectations. I thought of what to write on these Tombstones and then I thought just a simple, " RIP" would be perfect.
How to make Halloween Graveyard Cupcakes
So, to make these Halloween Graveyard Cupcakes, you start by making a Dark Chocolate Cupcake. This is just your good old Chocolate Cupcakes made with AP Flour, Brown Sugar, Cocoa Powder, and Milk.
For the Mud under my Tombstone, I melted some dark chocolate and topped it with some Cocoa Powder and Graham Cracker Crumbs.
For the Tombstone, I used Graham Crackers. I have cut them into small rectangles and dipped them in melted white chocolate. You can obviously use white candy melt as well. Melting the white chocolate can be tricky. So, you can either melt it in the oven in bursts of 30 seconds or melt it in the skillet over a low flame with some butter. Dip the Graham Crackers in the melted white chocolate and freeze it for 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt some Dark Chocolate and take it in a piping bag. Once the white chocolate has frozen over the Graham Crackers, write "RIP" or "BOO" over your Graham Cracker Tombstones.
Freeze it for 30 minutes and then press it inside the cupcake.
So, that's how you make these Halloween Graveyard Cupcakes. See, I told ya! It's so easy.
