"Not So Scary Monsters" is how my youngest described these fun Cute Halloween Monster Cupcakes. These fun cupcakes go together quickly and will work great for a school Halloween party, an at home party, or for a quick snack before you head out to go trick or treating. These Monster Cupcakes will also work great for a Monster Themed Birthday party.
How to Make Cute Monster Cupcakes
Halloween is right around the corner and it's time to start thinking about all of the goodies that we need to make.
We won't be hosting a party this year, however, I still like to whip some yummy food for us to snack on before we head out trick or treating. i don't like to plan a meal that will take a lot of prep that day so my Shredded Chicken Sandwiches which go together quickly and can be put in the crock pot are always a winner! Our Garlic Flatbread is always a quick side that the whole family loves.
