Start by baking or purchasing 12 chocolate cupcakes, allowing them to cool completely on a wire rack.

Once the cupcakes have cooled, generously frost each one with chocolate frosting using a spatula or piping bag.

Assemble skeletons by threading four mini marshmallows onto each lollipop stick or pretzel rod to form the body.

Place a large marshmallow on top to represent the skull.

Using a black edible marker or decorating gel, draw faces on the large marshmallow heads.

Carefully insert the assembled skeleton sticks into the center of each frosted cupcake.

Chill the assembled Skeleton Cupcakes in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving.
