Since I'm taking Thanksgiving off this year, I've still made it my mission to post a few recipes for those of you that are not.

Braaaaaains...
I know, I know... Halloween is over. So why am I posting a recipe now for brain cupcakes?
Well, partially because I missed out on a lot of the pre-halloween hoopla due to a horrible virus that ran through my house in the weeks leading up to it. And... well also because one of my favorite shows is The Walking Dead.
