Piña Ghouladas and Bleeding Cupcakes, Oh My!

Halloween is a fun holiday; it's the one weekend every year that you get to dress up as someone or something else without other people thinking you are crazy. It also comes with a lot of fun "tricks" and "treats" that aren't typically suitable for any other day of the year. Check out these creepy Halloween treats and learn how to make them yourself!

Bleeding Cupcakes

1) Bake cupcakes using your favorite recipe.
2) Once cooled, dig a small lump of cupcake out of the top. Set the removed chunk aside.
3) Pour a little bit of an edible, reddish, runny substance, such as strawberry jam or cherry pie filling, into the hole.
4) Re-insert removed chunk.
5) Frost the top (thereby covering up the evidence of step 2).
6) Dip a toothpick into some of the leftover jam (filling, sauce, red icing, etc.) and stab the top of the cupcake twice to give the appearance of fang marks.
