Equipment

Candy Thermometer

Ingredients

1 cup sugar white
1/3 cup light corn syrup
6 tablespoons water
12 cupcakes chocolate, red velvet or any other variety
16 ounces white frosting
red food gel coloring

Instructions

Combine the sugar, light corn syrup, and water in a small saucepan. Heat with medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Boil until it reaches 275 degrees F using a candy thermometer.
Add the glass candy mixture to a baking sheet or cookie sheet with higher edges. Spread it out with a spatula so it’s even and covers the entire cookie sheet. Allow it to sit for 2-3 hours.
Using a wooden spoon or small hammer, crack the glass candy into shards. Frost the cupcakes and add glass candy to each cupcake. Add droplets of red food coloring gel. You can mix a little bit of gel food coloring to water to it splashes like real blood.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For a fun twist, scoop out the center of the cupcake and add some cherry pie filling, chocolate ganache, or strawberry jam. Then add use a piping bag to frost and serve. They will ooze as people bite into them!
It’s fine to make your favorite recipe for homemade icing. I really love to use vanilla buttercream. Cream cheese frosting is also a tasty choice.
Give your friends or coworkers a bloody Halloween cupcake as a gift by adding it to a cute cupcake box!
Even though the candy isn’t real glass, it can be a little sharp as you eat it, so be careful, especially when feeding it to little kids.
