Ingredients
- chocolate cupcakes {make according to package instructions}
- chocolate frosting {we used a ganache- recipe below}
- Oreo cookies
- M&M’s
- Candy Corn
- 1 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Once it’s about to boil, turn the heat down to medium-low and add in the chocolate chips.
- Allow chips to heat for about a minute, then begin stirring gently, until chips are melted and mixture is smooth.
- Allow to cool slightly before frosting cupcakes. If ganache hardens before you’re ready, simply return to low heat and stir again.
- Separate the two halves of the Oreo cookies and lay out on a counter top.
- Place a brown M&M on each cookie, pressing in gently so they stick.
- Frost the cupcakes, leaving a pointy “tuft” of frosting on the top, middle of the cupcake for the owl’s feathers.
- Gently press 2 Oreo halves onto the top of the cupcake.
- Add in a candy corn, pointy end facing down as the beak.
