Notes

Nutritional values are approximate and will vary based on the ingredients you choose.
For best results: make sure the candy corn and chocolate chips don't sit in a hot room. The pieces can melt together, making for mangled flower petals. Check your bag before purchase and store them in a cool dry place.
Substitutions: Standard candy corn are beautiful on these sunflower cupcakes, but keep in mind that there are different colors of candy corn, including earth tones as well as pastels. Feel free to use different colored candies like Mike and Ike's in addition to or instead of the candy corn if you prefer.
The center of the flower is chocolate chips. You can use regular size or mini chips or even substitute chocolate jimmies if you like.
