Easy Halloween Spider Cupcakes

My husband is an amazing cook and loves to bake from scratch. However, during holiday season we don’t always have time to make a large amount of treats quickly. Parties and school events sometimes pop up without much notice!

One of our favorite holiday entertaining shortcuts is to create homemade cupcake toppers to put our own unique spin on store-bought desserts. Simple touches like that make your treats look homemade!

These Chocolate Spiderweb Cupcake Toppers are the perfect spooky sweet for Halloween and can be made with just a few simple ingredients. We also made chocolate spiders to switch things up on some of the cupcakes!

Make both spider cupcakes and spider web cupcakes for a spooky fun Halloween cupcake spread!

Spider Cupcakes Supplies

  • 1 package grocery store-bought chocolate cupcakes with orange Whipped Icing
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • Frosting decorating bag

How to Make Chocolate Spiderweb Cupcake Toppers

Note: For your convenience in creating these Spiderweb Cupcakes, we’ve included shop-able ad links to some of the products we used. Read our disclosure policy here.

Line a flat cookie sheet with wax paper. Use bag clips to keep your wax paper attached to the cookie sheet and prevent slipping.

Melt 1-2 cups dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe frosting decorating bag. (Safety tip: If using a regular plastic zipper bag, melt chips in a microwave-safe bowl first and scoop into your bag).

Cut off the tip of your frosting decorating bag — you only want a small opening, just enough space that a toothpick could pass through.

Use your piping bag filled with chocolate to draw spiderwebs and spiders onto your wax paper. Make at least one per cupcake, plus a couple extras just in case.

Tip: Thicker spiderwebs and spiders are sturdier and easier to handle.

Place your cookie sheet in the freezer or fridge until the chocolate hardens. Once chocolate is fully set, simply peel your chocolate spiderweb cupcake toppers from the paper and place on your cupcakes.

Whipped Icing — Our Favorite Cupcake Shortcut

The next time you visit your local grocer’s bakery counter, ask for cupcakes (or cakes) made with Whipped Icing! I purchased these cupcakes at Kroger right here in Houston.

What makes whipped icing the #1 choice of shoppers?

  • Less sugar and fewer calories than heavier buttercream frosting
  • No trans fats
  • Smooth, creamy texture (never gritty)
  • Balanced flavor for just the right amount of sweetness
