    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. Make cake mix as directed on box for 24 cupcakes. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about two-thirds full).

    Bake 14 to 19 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

    In small bowl, place vanilla frosting; tint with orange food color to desired color. Frost each cupcake with 1 generous tablespoon orange frosting.
  • 4
    Cut licorice twists into 24 equal pieces. Press licorice into top edge of each cupcake for stem.
  • 5
    Spoon chocolate frosting into small resealable food-storage plastic bag; partially seal bag. Cut off tiny corner of bag. Squeeze bag to pipe different faces, and decorate with candy eyeballs (use photo as guide).

    Store loosely covered at room temperature.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Use a decorating bag fitted with small plain piping tip when using the chocolate frosting for a more polished decorating look.
  • tip 2
    No green licorice pieces? Pretzel sticks make a great alternative!
  • tip 3
    For colorful emotions, tint additional frosting with food colors and pipe on cupcakes.
