I found an easy trick or treat cupcakes recipe on the Nestle Very Best Baking site for my great Halloween party! In fact, I think I’ve used this before to make a cake.

I’m going to tint my frosting with food coloring to make it orange and serve my easy trick cupcakes nestled in a bed of candy corn and wrapped caramels.

Ingredients: 1 package (18.25 oz.) spice cake mix
1 can (15 oz.) LIBBY’S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
3 large eggs
