Mason Jar Graveyard Spooky Cakes

ripcupcakesRecipe Created by Noble Pig | Serves: 11 cakes

Ingredients:
1 Devil's Food Boxed Cake Mix or other chocolate flavor
10 sheets chocolate graham crackers, pulverized into crumbs
1 cup chocolate frosting
1 tube black cake decorators gel
11 Pepperidge Farm Milano Cookies
44 gummy worms
chocolate sprinkles

Directions:
Prepare cake batter according to package directions. Spoon batter into 11 (1/2 pint) mason jars, until they are half full (not more). You do NOT need to spray jars with cooking spray. Wipe off any excess batter from inside or outside of jars. Place all filled jars on a large, rimmed baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes in a 325°F oven or until toothpick in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.

Place chocolate frosting in pastry or Ziplock bag with a wide mouth pastry tip. Poke tip into top middle of each cake and squeeze some frosting under the surface. Does not need to be a lot, just enough to give a creamy center.

Poke 3 gummy worms into each cake. Spoon chocolate graham cracker crumbs over each cake and around gummy worms, completely covering the surface.

Pipe the letters RIP onto each Milano cookie with decorators gel and push each cookie into the cakes through the graham cracker crumbs.

Lay one more gummy worm on top of graham cracker crumbs for decoration. Sprinkle chocolate sprinkles over the top.
