Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1 box Brownie Mix
Cake Batter
- 1 box White Cake Mix
- Orange Food Coloring, enough to achieve vibrant orange color
Frosting & Decoration
- 1 batch The Best Buttercream Frosting
- Halloween DIY Sprinkles
- 20 Cupcake Liners
Instructions
- Prepare Brownie Batter: Mix the brownie batter according to the instructions on the brownie mix box until smooth and well combined.
- Prepare Cake Batter: Mix the white cake batter according to the directions on the cake mix box. Once mixed, add orange food coloring gradually until the batter reaches a vibrant orange hue.
- Fill Cupcake Liners: Place cupcake liners into a muffin tin. Add about one spoonful of brownie batter into each liner, filling each about one-third of the way.
- Add Cake Batter: Cover the brownie batter in each liner with orange cake batter, filling the liners about three-quarters full overall.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cupcakes for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with only a few moist crumbs.
- Cool & Frost: Allow the cupcakes to cool completely in the pan, then frost generously with the Best Buttercream Frosting.
- Decorate: Sprinkle Halloween DIY sprinkles on top of the frosting for a festive finish.

- For best results, ensure not to overfill the cupcake liners to avoid overflowing during baking.
- Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting to prevent frosting from melting.
- You can substitute the orange food coloring with other colors to suit different themes or occasions.
- Using store-bought brownie and cake mixes makes this recipe quick and easy, perfect for last-minute celebrations.
