Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I wanted to share this recipe with you, courtesy Parent's Magazine online:Ingredients
1-1/2 cups red melting wafers
2-1/2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1 can (16 ounce) vanilla frosting
Pink icing color
18 cupcakes, any flavor
Red fruit slices or any soft, chewy candy, halved
Red licorice strings
Sprinkles
1-1/2 cups red melting wafers
2-1/2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1 can (16 ounce) vanilla frosting
Pink icing color
18 cupcakes, any flavor
Red fruit slices or any soft, chewy candy, halved
Red licorice strings
Sprinkles
Directions
1. In bowl, combine red melting wafers and vegetable shortening. Microwave on medium, stirring every 20 seconds, until melted and combined, about 2 minutes.
2. Pour mixture into a foil-lined baking pan, and spread out into an 8" x 10" rectangle. Refrigerate for 3 minutes, or just until set.
3. Using a 1-1/2" heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out as many hearts as you can. Place scraps of wafers back into the bowl, and microwave again to melt. Pour into baking pan, and spread into a 6" x 8" rectangle. Follow previous directions for chilling and cutting.
4. Tint frosting pink with icing color, and frost cupcakes. Place two hearts at angles, points together, in center of each cupcake to make butterfly wings. Place a fruit slice or candy between wings for body. Insert 2 small pieces of licorice strings for the antennae. Top cupcakes with sprinkles.
