Start by preparing your cake batter according to box instructions.

Fill your cupcake liners 1/2 of the way full.

Bake cupcakes according to box instructions.

After baking let cool completely.

If you choose to use a icing pipping kit, fill your icing bag with your white icing.

Start in the middle of the cupcake working your way out and up with the frosting.

I placed my cupcakes in the freezer for about 5 minutes to allow the icing to stiffen up a bit before adding the pretzels.

Next add two pretzels to each side of the cupcake for "arms".

Add one candy corn for the nose and several mini chocolate chips for eyes and a mouth.

Serve and enjoy!
