Ingredients
Preparation
Using an offset spatula, spread a smooth layer of buttercream (plain or tinted, as desired) on cupcakes. Using a paring knife, cut red sour belt candy into rounded strips to resemble tongues; place on lower part of cupcake, in the center, bending tip slightly forward. Break small pretzel twists in half; press two small curved pieces into each cupcake for ears. Break the long W-shaped curve off additional pretzel twists; place rounded sections just above tongue, overlapping it slightly. Use black licorice buttons to create noses and brown mini chocolate-coated candies for eyes.
