These Easy Skeleton Cupcakes are the cutest dessert you will make all Halloween! Plus, the kids can make them for a cupcake decorating party! I made Skeleton Cupcakes last year but I wanted to make them easier, so instead of using melted white chocolate or frosting to keep the white pretzels in place, I stacked LifeSavers in between! 
Halloween totally snuck up on me! Wasn’t it summer just yesterday? When did all the leaves change and pumpkins start showing up outside the grocery store?! I’ve been baking up a pumpkin storm but I haven’t posted all the recipes yet so stay tuned!
Of course I just had to make a video for these cute Skeleton Cupcakes this year! You can watch just how simple they are to put together. The only thing you might not have in your pantry already is the edible marker. You can buy it at Michael’s or Joann’s, it’s a Wilton product and they are so fun to have around! You can write on marshmallows and then stick them on a cake to celebrate birthdays or holidays!
Need another dose of Halloween cuteness? Frankenstein Cupcakes are always a good choice!
