These spider web-decorated cupcakes with a chocolate cheesecake base are the perfect sweet for a Halloween party.
Notes:
- To melt chocolate: Place chocolate in small bowl and microwave until smooth and melted, 1 to 2 minutes, stopping microwave to stir chocolate every 30 seconds.
- Using a liquid measuring cup makes easy and neat work of filling the cupcake tins.
