We are putting together skull cupcakes with the NEW Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups Skulls and doing away with the pumpkins this Halloween. These cupcakes are super easy to make using these Fun-Size skulls which are hauntingly delicious with their one-of-kind limited edition bite-sized molded Skull shape. It is the perfect addition to your Halloween party for kids and grown-ups alike!
We are decorating our favorite cupcakes with these Butterfinger bite size skull chocolates. This is a quick and easy party craft because you don’t have to bake the cupcakes if you haven’t got the time.
I love their spooky Skull mold. It’s not too spooky though! They have taken the classic Butterfinger crispety, crunchety, peanut-buttery flavor drenched in a smooth milk chocolate coating, making them the perfect Halloween treat or baking accessory this Halloween season. The possibilites are endless for making Halloween treats.
