Frankencups

For Halloween, draw faces on cups with a black Sharpie. Add vanilla pudding tinted with green food coloring. Crush some Oreo's to sprinkle on top of the pudding. Frankencups! - cute

Glow-in-the-dark Cupcakes
This is from the Better Recipes website...

Glow-in-the-dark Cupcakes
Servings: 24
Prep Time: 30 min
30 minutes
Cook Time: 20 min
20 minutes
Total Time: 50 min
50 minutes
Ingredients:
1 Recipe of Your Favorite Cupcakes, baked and cooled
Frosting:
1 cup Real Butter
4 - 6 cups Powdered Sugar
5 Tbsp Tonic Water
1-2 Tbsp Vanilla
Glow-in-the-dark Icing Dip:
1 Small Box Lime Jello
1 cup Boiling Water
1 cup Tonic Water
Directions:
Prepare your favorite cupcake recipe (I use red velvet for Halloween.)
Frosting:
Beat butter until smooth, gradually add powdered sugar alternately with the 5 Tbsp. tonic water. Stir in vanilla. (Frosting should be stiff for these cupcakes.) Frost the Cupcakes, using lots of icing and swirling to make high peaks. Place the frosted cupcakes in freezer until ready to dip.
Glow-in-the-Dark Icing Dip:
Mix jello and boiling water, stir 2 minutes until dissolved. Add the 1 cup of tonic water and stir. Place the bowl of jello in a large bowl of ice water and stir until jello is cool to the touch. Continue to stir. You want the jello to cool down, but not begin to set up. When the jello is cool to the touch, remove it from the ice water.
Remove a couple cupcakes at a time from the freezer and dip in jello mixture.
Place the dipped cupcakes back in freezer; repeat this dipping and freezing process 4-6 times.
To serve, display your Cupcakes under a black light for an extra glow.
Helpful Tips:
Be sure to stir the jello each time and watch it so it doesn't start setting up. If it does get thick, dipping the cupcake 4 times will work as well, but 6 is better.
