🍬 Instructions

1. Make the Sugar Glass:
In a medium pot, combine 2 cups sugar, 1 cup water, and 2/3 cup corn syrup. Stir well, then heat over medium-high heat until the mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage).
Carefully pour the hot syrup onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let it cool for about 1 hour or until completely hardened. Once hardened, break it into sharp-looking “glass” shards.

2. Bake the Cupcakes:
Prepare your cupcakes according to the package directions. Let them cool completely before decorating.

3. Make the Fake Blood:
Mix strawberry syrup, a bit of chocolate syrup, a few drops of red food coloring, and one drop of blue food coloring. Adjust color and thickness by adding corn syrup or sugar water until it looks realistic.

4. Assemble the Cupcakes:
Spread white frosting on each cupcake. Stick a few “glass” shards into the frosting. Drizzle your edible fake blood over the top for that perfect horror effect!

These Broken Glass Cupcakes are a chillingly fun dessert that will have everyone talking! Whether for a Halloween bash, a themed movie night, or just a spooky weekend treat—this recipe is sure to impress.
