Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 1 tub chocolate frosting
- 8–10 candy eyes
- Black licorice strips (for legs)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix the batter. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
- Fill your cupcake liners. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and fill them about 2/3 full with the batter.
- Bake the cupcakes. Pop them in the oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool them down. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Frost like a champion. Once cooled, generously slather your chocolate frosting on top of each cupcake.
- Add the Oreos. For our spider, take an Oreo and gently press it into the frosting at an angle.
- Create the spider legs. Cut the black licorice into strips and gently insert them on each side of the Oreo.
- Finish with candy eyes. Finally, place two candy eyes on top of the Oreo, pushing them slightly into the frosting.
