Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare cake mix batter according to package directions.
-
Fill 24 paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350 ° for 21-26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
-
For frosting, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa, butter and milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla.
-
Cool to 110 °. Transfer to a large bowl. Beat until thickened and mixture begins to lose its gloss, about 8 minutes.
-
Cut large marshmallows in half crosswise; place a half on each cupcake. Frost marshmallow and top of cupcake. Dip cupcakes in sprinkles. Place a dab of frosting on each miniature marshmallow and press on to cupcakes. Place a dab of frosting on each M&M and press on to marshmallows for eyes.
-
For spider legs, use a metal or wooden skewer to poke four holes on opposite sides of cupcakes; insert a piece of licorice into each hole.
Why this Spider Cupcakes Recipe works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Spider Cupcakes Recipe works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
