These caramel-topped chocolate cupcakes with a Halloween theme are great for any scary party. Theyre rich and moist, and the sweet caramel drizzle on top makes them taste even better. For a fun treat, decorate them with Halloween sprinkles.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup hot water
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce for frosting
• Halloween-themed sprinkles for decoration

Instructions:

Warm your oven up to 350 F 175C and put paper liners in a cupcake tin

Sift the cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and flour together in a bowl

Whisk the sugar, buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract together well in a different bowl

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients one at a time until the batter is smooth

The hot water should be stirred into the batter until it is well mixed

Its okay that the batter isnt very thick

Fill up about two thirds of the way up each cupcake liner in the prepared cupcake tin with batter

After the oven is hot, bake the cupcakes for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean

Take the cupcakes out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes in the pan

Then, move them to a wire rack to cool completely

Once the cupcakes are completely cool, cover the tops of each one with caramel sauce and decorate with Halloween-themed sprinkles

Before you serve, let the caramel frosting set
