1 box chocolate cake mix
Ingredients called for on box (eggs, oil, water)
1 container chocolate frosting
1 container orange or purple frosting
Chocolate sandwich cookies
Chocolate kisses or mini sugar cones
Halloween sprinkles

Instructions

Bake the cupcakes according to the package directions, and let them cool completely.
Frost the cupcakes generously with orange or purple frosting.
Place a chocolate sandwich cookie on top of each cupcake.
Add a chocolate kiss or a mini sugar cone in the center to create the witch hat.
Pipe a thin frosting band around the base of the hat if needed.
Finish with Halloween sprinkles.

Notes

Cooling Rule: Ensure cupcakes are 100 percent cool before frosting so the icing holds its shape.
Assembly Tip: Assemble the hats right before serving if storing them for more than a few hours to keep cookies crisp.
Allergy Swap: Check your cookie and cake mix labels if you need nut-free or gluten-free alternatives for your guests.
