Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your chocolate cupcakes using your favorite recipe or a box mix.
  2. Fill cupcake liners in a muffin tin about two-thirds full and bake for 18–20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  3. Let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
  4. While the cupcakes cool, whip together your chocolate fudge frosting until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Spread a dollop of frosting on the flat side of each upside-down cookie and insert a piece of candy corn to create witch hats.
  6. Frost the cooled cupcakes with the chocolate frosting, creating a nice swirl.
  7. Gently place the assembled witch hats on top of each frosted cupcake, pressing down gently.

Notes

Store cupcakes in an airtight container. Experiment with different cookie types for unique hat designs.
