of aluminum foil by pressing the foil over the top of the rat,
forming a foil cup that has the shape of the rat on the inside,
leave the bottom open and pull the toy rat out. Make a bunch
of these aluminum rat cups. Use some additional foil to form
legs so the molds sit open side up on a cookie sheet. Spray
the inside of the foil rat molds with non-stick cooking spray
and fill with chocolate cake batter following the instructions
on the box. Leaving the molds on the cookie sheet for support,
bake the rat cakes in the oven, again follow box instructions,
you may find it helps to over bake them a bit. When finished baking,
let cool and pull off the foil mold and trim the bottom of the
cupcake rat with a knife so it sits flat. Use red cake icing
in the little squeeze tubes to inject (from the bottom) the
insides with a little gooey "blood", use licorice whips for a
tail and red cake decorating beads for eyes. You usually will
only get one rat per mold so make plenty of the foil molds,
they're easy to do. You can make these into bats by adding
wings made from Fruit Roll-Ups and leaving off the tail.
