Ingredients

1 box Cake Mix any flavor
24 large Gummy Eyeballs

Buttercream Frosting

1 cup Butter room temperature
2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
5-6 Tablespoons Milk
7-8 cups Powdered Sugar

Instructions

Make and bake cupcakes according to the instructions on the back of the box. Allow to cool completely before decorating.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the room temperature butter until light and fluffy using the whisk attachment.
Add half of the powdered sugar, the vanilla extract, and half of the milk. Whip on low speed to combine, then increase to high and whip until light and fluffy again. Add the rest of the powdered sugar, then add the rest of the milk about a tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency (Note: you may not need it all).
Divide the frosting into 3 seperate bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl to make different colors. (Note: To make chocolate frosting, just add a couple tablespoons of cocoa powder and an extra teaspoon of milk until you reach the desired consistency.)
Add the first color of frosting to a piping bag with a large tip and pipe onto ⅓ of the cupcakes. Repeat with the other colors of frosting.
Top each with a candy eyeball, or any other decorative Halloween treats. Enjoy!
