Look what we made this weekend. This is doubly impressive given that the I rarely cook, and I have never made modeling chocolate. Here is the deal. Mix 1 package chocolate cake mix, 15 ounces of canned pumpkin, 2 eggs and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. For extra flavor you can season the mix pumpkin pie style with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, or use pre-made pumpkin pie mix in a can. Pour the mix into cupcake pans and bake, like 10-ish minutes. Let them cool. Frost with frosting, or whipped cream cheese with cinnamon and nutmeg mixed in. Delish.
For the modeling chocolate melt 7 ounces of white chocolate in a double boiler. (That is a small pan floating in a in a bigger pan filled with a few inches of water). Stir it until it gets melty. Pull it off the fire, then mix in about 2 tablespoons of light Karo Syrup. Super not healthy, but baby girl loved it so much, and its fun to play with. Add any color you might want, we split it into a green and an orange. Make crap. Put it on the cupcake.
It is cute no? I mean it can't get much easier than a pumpkin. Or an apple. But we made pumpkin flavored cupcakes so there you go.
Baby girl made this one. That is a shawl in case it gets cold at night. And see the face? Ugh, so cute. Do this with your children. Even if they are like 18. Or get some neighbor child. It will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.
