Ingredients

  • One box of cake mix and required ingredients
  • 1-2 16 oz cans of chocolate frosting depending on how generous you are with the frosting
  • 24 oreos
  • 24 pairs of candy decor eyes

Instructions

  • Make chocolate cake cupcakes according to box instructions and allow to cool completely.
  • Pipe frosting onto cupcakes with a large star tip to create a soft swirl of frosting on top of each cupcake.
  • Cut 24 Oreos in half using a serrated knife. Place an oreo half on each side of the frosting swirl, securing them by tucking into the frosting for the bat wings.
  • In between the two oreo wings, and the top center of the swirl, place a pair of eyes, just tucking the bottoms into the frosting to secure.
  • Have a spooky, batty Halloween!

Cooling Time: 30 minutes
Decorating Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes
Because different boxes will yield different amounts of cupcakes, the exact yield and baking time will most likely differ, which is why this recipe is easily adaptable. For example, if the box only yields 15 cupcakes, the baker only needs to cut 15 Oreos in half.
