When it comes to worming your way into little tricksters' good graces, this treat takes the cake.
Ingredients
- 12 chocolate-frosted chocolate cupcakes
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chip
- Red food coloring
- Blue food coloring
- Light corn syrup
- Hot water
- 1 cup of chow mein noodles
- 1/2 cup chocolate cookie wafer crumbs
Instructions
- Start with a dozen chocolate-frosted chocolate cupcakes. Then make the worm topping by melting 1/2 cup white chocolate chips in a microwave for 1 minute and stirring them until smooth.
- Stir in 5 drops of red food coloring, 1 drop of blue food coloring, and 1 tablespoon each of light corn syrup and hot water. Gently fold in 1 cup of chow mein noodles until they are evenly coated.
- Scoop the mixture onto waxed paper and use two forks to separate the noodles into individual worms or smaller clumps.
- Allow about 20 minutes for the coating to set. Meanwhile, sprinkle the cupcakes with chocolate cookie wafer crumbs (1/2 cup should be plenty for one dozen) and gently press them into the frosting. When the worms are ready, arrange them on top.
