Bat Oreo Cupcakes Recipe

Servings: 12 cupcakes 

Prep: 15 minutes | Assembly Time: 5 minutes | Total Time: 20 minutes

Main Ingredients:

12 premade chocolate cupcakes 

18 – 20 oreos

Candy eyeballs

Frosting Ingredients:

2 cups powdered sugar

1 stick unsalted butter (room temp)

2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

2 Tbsp heavy cream

Directions:

First create the bats by twisting apart an Oreo. Cut the top cookie in half to make the wings. Press the wings into the white filling of the bottom cookie. 

Twist apart another cookie. Put a small amount of that cookie’s filling on top of the inner center portion of the bat wings. Then, place a top cookie on the bat wings and gently press together. 

Put a small amount of white filling on the back of two eyeballs to make the bat’s face. 

Repeat until 12 bats are made. 

Next, make the frosting by adding the butter to a large mixing bowl and mix on medium speed for 1-2 minutes. Turn the speed to low and slowly add in the powdered sugar one cup at a time.

Pause to scrape the bowl, add in the heavy cream and cacao powder. Continue to mix on medium-high speed for another minute. Transfer to a piping bag. 

Assemble the cupcakes by piping the frosting and topping with a bat Oreo.
