Food and Halloween spooky fun go hand in hand! I love baking sweet treats with my children for the holidays and these devil’s food graveyard cupcakes will blow your mind! I tried for the first time the Sugar In The Raw Organic White® and honey, let me tell you the sweetness is in every bite. The crystals are much finer which makes it perfect for baking! My family and I wouldn’t have it any other way because the chocolate melt in your mouth treats brightened my children’s day one cupcake at a time!
Oh Yeah Baby ~ The Graveyard never looked this inviting!
