Ingredients
Scale
Base Cupcakes
- 12 chocolate cupcakes
Decorations
- 6 Oreo cookies
- 12 Hershey’s chocolate kisses
- 1/2 batch cream cheese frosting
- green food coloring
- orange food coloring
- white sprinkles
- orange sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare frosting: After making the cream cheese frosting, separate ½ cup of the frosting into a separate bowl for coloring.
- Color the frosting: Color the larger amount of frosting green and the smaller amount orange using food coloring.
- Prepare Oreo bases: Gently split the Oreo cookies in half.
- Assemble witches hats: Place a very small spoonful of orange frosting in the center of the top half of each Oreo cookie. Then, place a Hershey’s kiss on top and press down gently. Add white and orange sprinkles on the frosting around the kiss. Set the assembled hats aside.
- Frost cupcakes: Pipe the green frosting into the center of each cupcake, avoiding the edges, and gently wind the frosting upwards creating a few layers, resembling a cone shape.
- Finish decoration: Place the Oreo witches hat on top of the green frosting on each cupcake.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the decorated cupcakes in a covered container until ready to serve to keep them fresh.
Notes
- For a smoother frosting, ensure cream cheese is softened before mixing.
- Use a piping bag with a round tip for neater frosting application.
- Gently twist Oreos apart to avoid breaking the cookies.
- You can substitute Hershey’s Kisses with any other cone-shaped chocolate for variation.
- Store cupcakes in the refrigerator and serve at room temperature for best flavor.
