Ingredients
Scale
Cupcake Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (any brand)
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
Slime Topping Ingredients
- 2 boxes lime jello (large boxes)
- 2 1/2 cups water (boiling)
- Chocolate frosting
- Small candy eyes
Instructions
- Prepare the Cupcake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Bake the Cupcakes: Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions. Pour batter evenly into cupcake liners placed in a muffin tin. Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely.
- Make the Jello Slime: In a heatproof bowl, dissolve the two boxes of lime jello powder into 2 1/2 cups of boiling water. Stir well until fully dissolved. Let the mixture cool slightly before refrigerating.
- Refrigerate the Jello Slime: Place the jello mixture in the refrigerator and chill it until it is thickened but still pourable and wiggly, about 2 hours. This creates the slime-like texture.
- Frost the Cupcakes: Spread a layer of chocolate frosting on each cooled cupcake to act as a base for the jello slime topping.
- Add the Slime Topping: Spoon or gently pour the thickened lime jello slime over each frosted cupcake, allowing it to wiggle and jiggle like slime.
- Decorate with Candy Eyes: Place small candy eyes on top of the jello slime to create fun slime monster cupcakes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve for best slime effect.
Notes
- These Slime Cupcakes are wiggly, jiggly, silly, and spooky!
- The jello slime monster topper makes these unique cupcakes perfect for Halloween!
- Ensure cupcakes are completely cool before adding frosting and jello slime to prevent melting.
- Refrigerate jello slime carefully to get the right consistency — not too solid, not too liquid.
- Use small candy eyes for maximum spooky effect.
