- Hi, y'all I mentioned, did I say Happy Halloween,
0:05
Happy Halloween y'all.
0:08
I mentioned in an earlier video that we were kind of walking
0:11
down memory lane with some of these Halloween recipes
0:16
that we had made in previous years, over the last 10
0:20
or 12 years in cooking with Paula Deen magazine.
0:23
So this one was one that we premiered and showed, oh gosh,
0:28
quite a few years ago.
0:30
But anyway, it's perfect for our Halloween dessert table
0:38
Teresa already baked out the cupcakes for us.
0:44
pick up a chocolate cake mix
0:47
and cook it according to directions.
0:51
I see it. Let them cool.
0:54
And believe it or not, these are little orange cupcake
1:00
liners, but they don't show up so good.
1:04
- [Man] It kind of looks like they are glowing.
1:06
- Yeah, it does around the tip top
1:09
looks like a little circle of orange around it.
1:11
So it's kind of neat looking.
1:19
and we are going to make the icing
1:23
to go on top of our cupcake.
1:28
I've got two tablespoons of cold water,
1:32
and we're just going to beat this until it's kind of,
1:41
This will guarantee you
1:43
a nice Meringue if you're
1:46
worried about your Meringue not working.
1:51
Alright, you can see it's getting foamy.
2:02
And then we're going to add our
2:08
Yeah. So yes, I see it that real foamy.
2:10
I don't know if you can see it,
2:15
- [Chef] but that's nice and foamy.
2:17
Now we're gonna just kind of slowly beat in
2:27
Want to beat all the little clumps.
2:31
In fact, if you want to make sure
2:34
it's lump free, you could sift. Sift your powdered sugar.
2:41
And you'll be guaranteed no lumps.
2:52
Okay. That's perfect.
2:58
I'll show you the picture.
3:00
And this is from the magazine.
3:03
This is what we're going to have when we're done with them.
3:08
These cupcake liners were pretty weren't they?
3:15
Cupcake liners look like they had a little orange in it too.
3:19
They make a lot of cute, cute liners.
3:24
Now that you can buy,
3:26
so we're just gonna put,
3:29
- [Woman] It's brand new, is it?
3:32
I'm trying to figure out how we're gonna do this.
3:36
Okay. So I'm just going to color it all
3:50
And it's a pretty mint green,
3:52
but I want a little bit more greener.
4:08
Yeah. That's pretty greeny.
4:18
- [Chef] Witch green.
4:22
- I actually played with this a little bit more before I
4:27
actually added another third of a cup of powdered sugar
4:30
because it looked awfully thin.
4:33
So I'm going to come in here and put just a little icing
4:36
to make sure our chocolate cookie sticks.
4:51
- [Woman] Nabisco's Grasshopper.
4:53
Keebler's Grasshopper Mint and Fudge.
4:55
- So we're going to put a dab right there
5:01
and then we're gonna put our
5:09
so that's the brim of the hat.
5:16
And then we have some little pumpkin candies
5:22
and we're gonna put that on,
5:30
and kind of mash it. So it looks like a little belt buckle.
5:34
How cute is that? The kids are going to love it.
5:39
Alright. So, yeah, we put a little there.
5:50
green right there and another kiss,
5:56
like there in the center.
5:59
Push it down so your green will come out.
6:09
they make food tweezers.
6:13
- [Man] No. (chuckles)
6:14
- Yes, they do. (chuckles)
6:17
And I almost need some tweezers (chuckles)
6:22
to handle some of these.
6:26
- [Woman] Looks good.
6:28
- Would you like to eat one, Teresa?
6:29
- [Woman] No, I'm good right the second.
6:30
- Okay. Well then I will eat one.
6:36
Like I said, you just,
6:42
you just use an, a box cake mix, chocolate cake mix
6:48
and go right back the directions.
6:52
and it actually makes a pretty good little cupcake.
6:57
Mm. You are going to miss them.
7:00
- [Woman] (chuckles) I do actually.
7:05
- This tastes like those cookies at the old girl's sale.
7:08
- You know, the chocolate mint.
7:13
And that mint goes along
7:17
with the color of the green
7:20
- [Woman] And they do actually tell you in the directions,
7:22
but you know, we never wait.
7:24
Because we have to eat.
7:25
It does tell you to put them in the refrigerator
7:27
and let the icings (chuckles) set.
7:31
I've just remembered that little detail.
7:34
- Don't worry about that. (chuckles)
7:36
- [Woman] ] I think they get the picture.
7:41
Oh. And there's like the pumpkin,
7:44
this have been crunchy. Now I will eat the kiss.
7:56
Happy Halloween y'all.
