Bleeding Cupcakes

Halloween is one if my favorite times of the year. A fun tradition Jon and I have started consists of making yummy goodies for my office (we'd make some for his too, but he's still much too cool to bring snacks in for his coworkers).
 
Our favorite recipe is Bleeding cupcakes. They're great for the office or any frightful fete you may have planned this weekend!
 

Bleeding cupcakes stabbed with a knife
The original recipe can be found on Martha Stewart's Website.  I added the blood and knifes separately for a yummy thriller effect. Simply make the batter for your favorite cake then evenly distribute in a lined mini cupcakes pan about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way full. Insert mini Reese's peanut butter cups and gently press down so that the batter is evenly around the chocolate. Bake for 10-15 min. Stab you mini cupcakes then decorate with Wilton ' s sparkle red gel.
 
You can buy the candy knifes from Wilton online or visit your favorite craft store during Halloween to see if they have it in stock. The package shows the knives stabbing a cupcake but wouldn't you rather have a yummy surprise center instead :).
