Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cupcakes:
- 1 box Chocolate Cupcake Mix (or your favorite homemade recipe)
- 3 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Oil or Butter (vegetable oil for a lighter version)
- For the Frosting:
- 1 container Chocolate Fudge Frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar (adjust for consistency)
- For the Witch Hats:
- 12 cookies (Oreo or Chocolate Wafer, gluten-free options available)
- 12 pieces Candy Corn (or chocolate-covered almonds)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare chocolate cupcakes according to mix or recipe instructions. Fill cupcake liners in a muffin tin about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack.
- While cupcakes cool, whip chocolate fudge frosting until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
- For the witch hats, place cookies upside down. Spread frosting on the flat side of each cookie. Gently insert a candy corn into the frosting as the hat tip, ensuring it sticks firmly.
- Generously frost the cooled cupcakes with chocolate frosting, creating a mound or swirl.
- Carefully place the assembled witch hats on top of each frosted cupcake, pressing gently to secure them.
Notes
- Ensure cupcakes are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
- Use a piping bag for a more elegant frosting application.
- Experiment with different cookie types for unique hat designs.
- Secure candy corn firmly into the frosting to prevent hats from falling.
- Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
