    Frost cupcakes with vanilla frosting. Top each with 1 walnut half. Using red gel, pipe along edges of walnut halves to look like brains. Store cupcakes loosely covered at room temperature.

  • Swap out chocolate chunks for raspberry slice candies. Cut raspberry slice candies into thirds and place one in center of each cupcake before baking to create an oozing red center.
