Halloween Recipes: Upside-Down Pumpkin-Filled Chocolate Cupcakes

on October 14, 2009 at 3:00 PM

I love orange and black food for a Halloween party, don't you? These upside-down pumpkin-filled chocolate cupcakes are so festive! Plus, it's a Paula Deen recipe, so you know it's got to be good (if not half of your daily caloric intake).

Want to know how easy these are to make? Let's just say a boxed cake mix is involved.

Make cupcakes according to directions on the box. Then cut each cupcake in half horizontally and spread with a filling of canned pumpkin, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. Ice with homemade chocolate granache. Try not to eat all 24!

The complete recipe can be found at Paula Deen.com

About the author Kim Conte

has shoes that make people stop her on the street and ask "Where did you get those?" but it doesn't work for taxi cabs as she was hit by one ... and lived to tell the tale. She has more freckles than Lohan but way less attitude. And she's a fierce cook with tons of recipes to share -- and wishes she could share some with Bourdain.
