Cooking with Kids: Edible Cats for Halloween

You're not the only person you know who likes black licorice. Wendy and I both love it.

You should visit Holland. They love it there and you can get it in virtually whatever shape you want. Some of it is salted though, so if Iris ate it, she might want some water nearby. =)

I LOVE cupcakes! And, I LOVE kitties! I don't have kids, but I want to make this for my friends!

Love this--you are spot-on about black food coloring--ew. The only thing more vile than a bunch of retirement celebrants black-gumming a cupcake is a preschooler doing the same.
"Look Mommy, we can play Bubonic Plague!"--sick, even by our household standards, so dark chocolate is the panacea for ALL once again.

Iris's logic seems very clear on cat-butts.

You COULD bypass the food-coloring issue & put a spin on cupcakes by going savory...my 5 and 2 year-old helped come up with these Turkey Meatloaf & Sweet Potato Puree Spiders (also in cupcake pans):

That sounds awfully healthy, but I can assure you we went straight back to the candy bowl.

Thanks for these ideas!--we'll make some cats (both ends).

PS: I love that salted licorice too. I once had a German brewery heiress in my Kindergarten class and ended up eating all of the forlorn Halloween party candy. Now I'm an addict.

Don't like getting stuck with the cat butts? Put a peppermint patty between the cupcake and the icing. Yum! I'd make the cupcakes in my muffin tops pan for bigger kitties. More yummy chocolate frosting per bite!

Our friend Chris brings us salted licorice from Denmark. Iris hates it. I love it.
