Dexter muffin

The Dexter muffin is a soft treat, perfect for Halloween thanks to the splatter effect in the decoration. This recipe is a tribute to the famous American TV series Dexter, which sparked my passion for TV series. Thanks to my boyfriend who recommended I watch it, I started following it with great interest, finishing two seasons in less than 24 hours!

  • Decorate the top of the muffins with the frosting, using a teaspoon or a toothpick to create splatters with the red food coloring.

  • Serve and enjoy!
