This Halloween, we teamed up with our friends at Little Secrets to create a candy-filled cupcake hack with a twist. Simply bake up some of our delicious organic chocolate cupcakes, remove the core and replace with a handful of candy pieces. A swirl of Miss Jones’ creamy, organic Vanilla Frosting (and some crushed candy on top) keeps this sweet surprise a secret ’til the first bite.
This is one simple, spooky, organic treat that’s perfect for creepin’ it real.
Mix up water, oil, eggs and chocolate cake mix until fully combined.
Pour batter into a lined 6-cup muffin pan, filling each cup about halfway and baking for 22-25 minutes, or until tops are springy to the touch.
Remove cupcakes from pan and set aside for 30-45 minutes to cool. Once completely cooled, use a ring cutter to remove cupcake centers, then fill with candy gems and add a generous twist of frosting. We sprinkled some candy bits on top to hint at what’s waiting inside.

Surprise!
Recipe Note
Pro Tips:
Vegan bakers can substitute flax egg to make this treat.
We used a 1” ring cutter to remove the center of our jumbo cupcakes. If you’re baking smaller cupcakes, you can use the sharp side of a frosting tip to core your cupcake.
