Ingredients
- 12 chocolate-frosted
- chocolate cupcakes
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chip
- Red food coloring
- Blue food coloring
- Light corn syrup
- Hot water
- 1 cup of chow mein noodles
- 1/2 cup chocolate cookie wafer crumbs
How to make it
Start with
a dozen chocolate-frosted chocolate cupcakes. Then make the worm topping by
melting 1/2 cup white chocolate chips in a microwave for 1 minute and stirring
them until smooth.
Stir in 5
drops of red food coloring, 1 drop of blue food coloring, and 1 tablespoon each
of light corn syrup and hot water. Gently fold in 1 cup of chow mein noodles
until they are evenly coated.
Scoop the
mixture onto waxed paper and use two forks to separate the noodles into individual
worms or smaller clumps.
Allow about
20 minutes for the coating to set. Meanwhile, sprinkle the cupcakes with
chocolate cookie wafer crumbs (1/2 cup should be plenty for one dozen) and
gently press them into the frosting.
When the worms are ready, arrange them on
top.
