1 box chocolate cake mix
3 large eggs

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, water, and oil; mix until smooth.
3. Fill liners about 2/3 full and bake 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
4. Use a knife to cut a small hole in the top of each cupcake and fill with red frosting to resemble blood.
5. Insert a plastic fang or gummy vampire tooth into the top.
6. Mix powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze; tint with red food coloring.
7. Drizzle the red glaze over cupcakes for an extra spooky effect.
8. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Serve on a spooky platter with faux cobwebs or plastic spiders for Halloween flair.
Store leftovers in an airtight container: 1–2 days at room temp or up to 1 week refrigerated.
Let cupcakes cool completely before decorating to prevent melting.
Try other frosting colors or add sprinkles/edible glitter for extra drama.
Variations: use vanilla or other cake flavors; gluten-free cake mix works too.
