I like things to be fun & whimsical which means I don’t care for the scary version of Halloween. When my husband asked me to make cupcakes for a work potluck, I wanted to create something Halloween-y. Fruit-punch flavored eyeball Halloween cupcakes were just the thing!
Not only are these Monster Eye cupcakes cute but they are delicious and incredibly easy to assemble!
