Ingredients
Directions
- Set your oven to 350°F and lightly coat a muffin tin with non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cupcake mix, eggs, water, and butter until smooth.
- Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.
- Bake for 16 minutes, then let the cupcakes cool for 10 minutes. While they cool, twist apart the Oreos so that one side has exposed cream.
- Frost each cupcake with a swirl of chocolate icing. Place two Oreo halves flat side by side in the center of the cupcake, cream side up.
- Press two chocolate chips into the upper corner of each Oreo to look like eyes.
- Add a candy corn piece flat with the point facing away from the cookies, then tuck five or more candy corn behind the Oreos to form feathers.
- Serve and enjoy with friends!
