Ingredients

Cupcake:

Chocolate Fudge Frosting:

Topping:

  • 30 to 40 chocolate sandwich cookies
  • 36 gummy worms

Directions

For the cupcake:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 3 cupcake pans with cupcake liners.

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Pour into cupcake liners about 2/3 full. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks.

For the frosting:

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and cream. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat, and simmer for 6 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; add chocolate and butter, stirring until melted and smooth. Let cool for 10 minutes. Whisk in confectioners' sugar. Let mixture cool until it reaches a spreadable consistency, then top cooled cupcakes with frosting.

For the topping:

Place cookies into a resealable plastic bag. Crush cookies with hands to make a "dirt" consistency. Sprinkle frosting with cookie crumbs, top with gummy worm and enjoy.

    I made the cupcakes and icing from this recipe and then piped ghosts out of icing on the top since they were for a halloween party instead of the worms and dirt. This recipes is dummy proof. I was in a hurry, misread the recipe, and put the heavy whipping cream in the batter instead of the icing. As soon as I realized it I panicked but the cupcakes sill came out AMAZING. They were super moist and even the icing was good after having to use 2% in it instead of the cream. Paired with light fluffy ghosts they were a hit. Paula Deen will never cease to amaze me
