How to decorate halloween muffins
Muffins can pose a bit of a challenge to decorate for holidays, because unlike Halloween cupcakes, muffins typically aren't topped with heaps of frosting and other sugary decorations. Still, there are a few fun ways to dress up your favorite homemade muffins for halloween!
- Festive sprinkles. Googly-eye sprinkles, halloween colored sprinkles, or sprinkles shaped like favorite decorations (pumpkins, ghosts, skills, spiders, and more!) are an easy way to add the Halloween spirit to any muffin recipe. You can even sprinkle them on muffin tops along with your favorite cinnamon streusel topping!
- A drizzle of icing is perfect for adding pizzazz to your halloween muffins. Try a few back and forth motions for a mummy muffin, draw a quick spiderweb, or make the outline of a ghost!
- Fresh fruit. Cut your favorite fruit into pieces, and use them as building blocks to create your favorite halloween shapes.
