These delicious and cruel cupcake treats are an extremely simple pleasure for Halloween parties! Our trick: let the kids worry about busy celebration activities and let them help with simple decorations. With a yield of 12, the ingredients for the chocolate cupcake include 6 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup of sugar, 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of unbleached all-purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon of baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter, melted and cooled, 1/2 cup of milk, at room temperature, 1 large egg, lightly beaten, at room temperature, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of hot water. The ingredients for the buttercream frosting include 1 1/2 pounds (6 sticks) of softened butter, 1 pound of confectioners sugar, sifted, 1 1/2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and red and green food coloring. The decorations include 24 brown mini candy-coated chocolates, such as mini M&Ms, plus more for filling (optional), 12 candy corns, 1 pound of black licorice laces, cut into 1/4-inch, 1/2-inch, and 2-inch lengths, and 12 chocolate candies. To make the cupcakes, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a cupcake tin with 12 paper liners. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the cocoa, sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the butter, milk, egg, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. (Alternatively, whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then beat in the butter, milk, egg, and vanilla with a handheld electric mixer.) Add the hot water and stir until smooth (the batter will be thin). Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. To make the buttercream frosting, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the butter, sugar, vanilla,
