Bat Cupcakes

Spooky, sweet, and unbelievably easy—these 30-minute Bat Cupcakes are the ultimate Halloween party hack! With Fudge Stripe cookie wings and red-eyed chocolate kiss bodies sitting atop rich chocolate frosting, they’re a quick, kid-friendly treat guaranteed to steal the show at any Halloween gathering.

Ingredients

• 1 (15.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix

• 1 cup (8 fluid ounces) water

• 3 large eggs

• ⅓ cup vegetable oil

• 1 (16 ounce) container prepared chocolate frosting

• 1 (11.5 ounce) package fudge stripe cookies

• 1 (6 ounce) bag milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped

• 1 tablespoon red gel icing

  
  

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12-cup muffin tins or line cups with paper liners.

2. Beat cake mix, 1 cup water, 3 eggs, and ⅓ cup oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium; beat for 2 minutes. Divide batter among the prepared cups. 

3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, 18 to 21 minutes. Cool. Frost cupcakes with frosting.

4. Break cookies in half; press two halves, stripe-sides down, into tops of each cupcake for wings. Place chocolate kisses in front of wings, points-facing forward, for bodies. Dot top-sides kisses with red gel icing for eyes.
