Ingredients:

  • 1 box of chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients required for the mix)
  • 1 tub of purple frosting
  • Chocolate wafer cookies or sugar cones (for the witch hats)
  • Black or dark chocolate candy melts
  • Orange and black sprinkles
  • Green or orange icing (optional, for decorating)
  • Mini marshmallows or candy for decoration (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Cupcakes:
  • Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions.
  • Line a cupcake tray with paper liners and prepare the cake mix as directed on the box.
  • Pour the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake according to the package instructions, usually 18-22 minutes.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely.
Make the Witch Hats:
  • If using chocolate wafer cookies, place a dollop of melted chocolate candy melt in the center of each cookie.
  • Press a sugar cone (or a chocolate-dipped cone) onto the cookie to form the witch hat.
  • Decorate the base of the hat with green or orange icing, adding a ring of icing around where the cone meets the cookie.
  • Set aside to let the chocolate harden.
Decorate the Cupcakes:
  • Frost each cooled cupcake with purple frosting.
  • Place a witch hat on top of each cupcake.
  • Add sprinkles and other candy decorations as desired.
Optional: Get Creative!

Use mini marshmallows or candy to create little faces or add more Halloween-themed decorations to the cupcakes.

Tips:

  • Adult Supervision Advised: Since this recipe involves using an oven, handling melted chocolate, and assembling the hats, adult supervision is recommended.
  • Fun Idea: Set up a decorating station with various sprinkles, icing colors, and candies, and let the kids go wild with their creativity!
