Hershey’s Halloween Treats

October 9, 2020 By Jeannine Cintron

Hershey’s Halloween Treats

Happy Choco-Ween! Halloween and chocolate go together better than goblins and ghouls. These recipes are as festive and adorable as they are indulgent. Your kids might not even miss trick-or-treating. Get more ooey-gooey good recipes at hersheys.com.

Monster Cupcakes

6-1/2 cups vanilla frosting
16 drops green food color
3/4 cup chocolate sprinkles
72 pieces candy eyes
1/2 cup HERSHEY’S Kitchens Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips or HERSHEY’S SPECIAL DARK Chocolate Chips
1 teaspoon red sprinkles

  1. Prepare HERSHEY’S “ESPECIALLY DARK” CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES; cool completely. Tint vanilla frosting to desired shade of green.
  2. Spoon or pipe about 3 tablespoons frosting on top of each cupcake. Flatten top of frosting and edge off sides with knife or spatula.
  3. Cover top of each cupcake with chocolate sprinkles. Position candy eyes on side of green frosting; add chocolate chip “bolts” to the side and design scar with red sprinkles or thin frosting. Use similar techniques to design a Monster bride, if desired. Carefully remove cupcake papers, if desired and place on serving plate. Makes about 36 decorated cupcakes.

8 REESE’S Peanut Butter Pumpkins (1.2 oz. each)

  2. Place milk chocolate chips in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) 30 seconds; stir. If necessary, microwave at MEDIUM an additional 10 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, until chips are melted and smooth when stirred. Transfer to small heavy duty plastic food storage bag. Cut off one corner of bag about 1/4 inch from the tip.
