These spooky and delicious witch’s cauldron cupcakes combine rich chocolate cupcakes with a vibrant green pudding potion and a crunchy rice krispy bubbling brew on top. Perfect for Halloween parties and magical gatherings!
Preheat the oven to 350°F and place cupcake liners in 24 muffin tins.
In a medium bowl, mix the devil's food cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs until well blended.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners and bake for 25 minutes. Allow cupcakes to cool completely and remove liners.
Gently press each cupcake down slightly to create space on top for the pudding potion layer.
Whisk the instant pudding mix and milk together until smooth. Add neon green food coloring drop by drop and whisk until the color is uniform and vibrant.
Spoon the green pudding over each cupcake, filling the hollow but not overflowing.
Chill the cupcakes in the refrigerator for 2 hours to set the pudding layer.
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat, then add marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
Add green food coloring to the melted marshmallows and mix well. The color should be a dark green as it will lighten when mixed with the cereal.
Stir the Rice Krispies into the green marshmallows until evenly coated.
Immediately spoon the Rice Krispies mixture on top of the pudding on each cupcake before the marshmallows cool and harden.
While the Rice Krispies are still warm, decorate with Halloween sprinkles.
Notes
Refrigerate cupcakes before serving to keep pudding and marshmallow topping firm. Perfect for Halloween parties and magical celebrations!
