Ingredients

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix plus ingredients listed on the box
  • 2 cups chocolate frosting
  • 10 chocolate sandwich cookies mini versions work best
  • Candy eyes

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) or as directed on the cake mix box, and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions, stirring until smooth.
  • Fill each liner about two-thirds full and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely on a rack.
  • Frost each cupcake generously with chocolate frosting.
  • Press a cookie into the top for bat wings and use a dab of frosting to attach the candy eyes in front of the wings, adjusting them so the bats look playful and mischievous.
