What You Need:

1 1/4 C of water
1/3 C of canola oil
3 eggs
1 (18.25 oz.) box yellow cake mix with pudding
3/4 C ready to spread chocolate frosting
24 gummy worms

How to Make It:

The oven is set to preheat to 350 degrees.
Line muffin tin cups with paper cupcake liners and spray lightly with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl put the water and whisk in the canola oil.
Whisk the eggs in until well combined.
Stir in the cake mix powder and blend well.
Pour the batter into the paper liners until they are 2/3 full.
Put in the preheated oven for 22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool 20 minutes on a wire rack.
In the center of each cupcake make a hole about as wide as a penny using a wooden spoon handle.
Spoon the chocolate frosting into a baggie, seal and snip off one corner.
The frosting is squeezed into the holes of the cupcake with a little frosting piled on top of each cupcake.
Press a gummy worm into the frosting in the hole of each cupcake leaving a small portion of the worm sticking out of the cupcakes.

These are a hit with all kids. These can be wrapped in plastic and given as treats for Halloween or used as decorations for your party table.
