Skull Cakes Recipe
- 1 package (2-layer size) white cake mix
- 1 (3.4 ounce) package JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
- 1 (8 ounce) package PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 (16 ounce) package powdered sugar, sifted
- 12 JET-PUFFED Marshmallows, cut in half
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Prepare cake batter as directed on package; blend in dry pudding mix. Spoon into 24 paper-lined 2-1/2-inch muffin cups. Bake as directed on package for cupcakes. Cool completely.
- Beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla with mixer until well blended. Add sugar gradually, beating well after each addition.
- Pull each cupcake liner partially away from cake. Place a marshmallow half between paper and cupcake to create skull's jaw. Frost cupcakes with cream cheese mixture. Decorate with chocolate chips.
