    Prepare cake batter according to package directions.

    Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 18-24 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

    Tint some of the frosting green if desired. Frost cupcakes. Decorate with assorted candy to create monster faces. Yield: 2 dozen.
