23 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 to 5 tablespoons milk

How to make
-
STEP 1
Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cups into 24 muffin pan cups; set aside.
-
STEP 2
Combine all cupcake ingredients in bowl; beat at medium speed until well mixed.
-
STEP 3
Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin pan cups 2/3 full. Bake 20-22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes in pans; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely.
-
STEP 4
Melt 1/2 cup butter in 3-quart saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat; stir in powdered sugar, cocoa, corn syrup, vanilla and enough milk for desired spreading consistency. Frost cooled cupcakes.
-
STEP 5
Place 1 candy piece at an angle on cupcake for bat head. Attach 2 red cinnamon candies for eyes using decorator gel. Add 2 sliced almonds for ears.
-
STEP 6
Cut chocolate wafers in half with sharp knife. Pipe straight edges with decorator gel; dip in nonpareils. At serving time, place wafer halves into cupcakes for wings.
Tip #1
If you attach the cookie wings too early they will absorb moisture from frosting and break.
Tip #2
A spring-loaded ice cream or cookie scoop can be used to place batter into paper baking cups.
Tip #3
If the frosting is too dry to spread, beat in additional milk, 1 teaspoon at time, until creamy.
