Let Nature Run Its Corpse Cakes
  1. Melt chocolate according to package directions and transfer into a piping bag or a plastic ziplock bag with the corner cut off. Pipe melted chocolate into molds and tap the bottom of the molds on counter to settle chocolate and remove air bubbles. Place filled molds in the refrigerator and let set for 15 minutes or longer as needed. Remove skull and bones from the molds and set aside.

  2. In a small bowl, add 1 tsp. cocoa and 1T vodka and mix until combined. Use a paint brush to paint the chocolate skulls and bones with the cocoa vodka mixture to age the bones.

  3. Prepare cupcakes according to package directions. Cool completely.

  4. Combine ~¼ tsp. of moss green gel food coloring to vanilla frosting and mix well. Set aside.

  5. Place prepared cookie dough in a medium bowl and add about ½ tsp. moss green gel food coloring and mix until well combined.

  6. Scoop about 1 tsp of cookie dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Use a fork or a butter knife to press dough flat into irregular shapes. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool cookies and set aside 30 small cookies to top your cupcakes with. Crumble the remaining cookies into a medium bowl.

  7. Frost cupcakes and dip frosting side down into crumbled cookies to create the mossy top of the cupcake. Lightly frost the bottom side of a sugar cookie and place a small dollop of frosting on the other side to act as a glue to hold the cookie to the top of the cupcake. Sprinkle crumbs over the slightly frosted cookie bottom.

  8. Top with skull and crossbones secure with a small dab of frosting.
