Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 (15.25 oz) box Dark Chocolate Cake Mix
  • 3 Eggs ((or follow package amount))
  • 1/2 cup Oil ((or follow package amount))
  • 1 1/4 cups Water ((or follow package amount))
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese ((room temperature))
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 34 drops Green Food Coloring
  • 3 drops Yellow Food Coloring
  • 2 drops Blue Food Coloring
  • 24 Chocolate Sandwich Cookies (with green (mint) filling, or any type you want)
  • 24 Dark Chocolate Kisses Candy
  • 1 (16 oz) tub Dark Chocolate Frosting
  • 1 small Squeeze Tube of Green Frosting

Instruction

  • Heat oven to 350° F (or follow cake mix package temperature).
  • Prepare the cake mix in a mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Use a hand mixer to mix the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Mix just until combined.
  • If you want the filling green, add the food coloring and mix just until color is even. Put the bowl of filling in the fridge to chill and firm up a little.
  • Line two 12 cup cupcake pans with black cupcake liners.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, fill the cupcake liners 1/3 full.
  • Remove the filling from the fridge and use a small spoon to add a spoonful of the filling to each. Discard any unused filling.
  • Top off the cupcake liners with the remaining batter, covering the filling.
  • Bake for 13 to 16 minutes, (or follow package time for cupcakes) or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven and let cool in the pans for 30 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the cupcakes are cooling, make the witch hats by using a small dab of the frosting to stick the kiss candy to the cookie. Then pipe a small band of the green frosting from the tube around the base of the kiss candy. It's okay if they are not perfect!
  • When cupcakes are cooled, frost the tops of the cupcakes with the dark chocolate frosting, then place a witch hat on top of each.
