DIRECTIONS
Cakes: Preheat oven to 350.
Whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt together in small bowl; set aside.
In large bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add sugar gradually, beating until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add flour mixture alternately with milk. Beat until smooth.
Divide batter among cupcake pan with liners.
Bake 22 minutes.
Cool in pans for 5 minutes, then remove to cool completely.
Frosting: In a large bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add 1 cup of sugar gradually, beating until light and fluffy. Add remaining 3 cups of sugar and the milk. Beat until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla and chocolate. Beat until combined.
Assembly: Use icing writer to decorate chocolate covered grahams with RIPs and crosses.
Crush chocolate cookies in a large zip-loc bag until they are the consistency of dirt.
Frost cupcakes then hold each one over a bowl of the "dirt" and sprinkle generously.
Insert tombstone.
Place pumpkin.
I served mine on a cupcake tree, but I think it would be cool to put them on fake grass of some kind. You know...like a graveyard.
