When you see these tiny candy pumpkins pop up at your grocery store, now you know they’ll make the cutest and easiest cupcake toppers. Mini cupcakes are perfect for fall parties and for little hands. It’s a match made in autumn heaven!
For this recipe, I basically combined my Pumpkin Bars recipe with the cupcake base of my Pumpkin Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache and Spiced Cream Cheese Frosting (one of my favorite cupcakes).
Mini Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
These cute mini cupcakes pack a lot of sweetness, moisture, flavor, and pumpkin-y goodness into one little bite. They would be perfect for a Halloween party or for Thanksgiving of course. You can’t have Thanksgiving without some kind of pumpkin dessert, right? Or you can make them and eat them for breakfast like my kids did, when they aren’t frosted they are basically a fluffy pumpkin muffin so I figured why not? Kids absolutely love these mini treats—and not just eating them. Kids are great helpers, and placing the little pumpkin candies on top of each cupcake is the perfect job for little hands. Enjoy and share, because these are the perfect sharing size!
