An easy Halloween Snacks party made by spooking up some of your favorite everyday snacks that everyone at the party will love!
Halloween is sneaking up on us pretty fast, it always seems like the closer we get to the end of the year the faster time flies. We’re going to be busy the weekend of Halloween this year and I won’t get a chance to make a fun costume like the Effie Trinket one I wore last year. But of course, I’ll use any excuse to still throw a party, so we decided to get together with some friends this weekend to enjoy some fun Halloween goodies and get into the Halloween spirit! Because life can be so crazy this time of year, I wanted to keep it simple and decided to do a fun Halloween Snacks spread for the party!
When I plan a party, I like to do my best to keep the stress and the mess down though I don’t always succeed, you should see my craft room/office right now… it makes me want to cry. But I at least try and one of my favorite things to do is combine a mix of homemade treats and store-bought ones. These Black Cat Oreo Cupcakes are a bit of a mix of the two, I made my well-loved Dark Chocolate Fudge Cupcakes with a Vanilla Creme Frosting and turned the store-bought Oreos into adorable black cats! You can find everything you’ll need as well as a fun step-by-step black cat Oreo video below!
Steps
Cupcakes:
Preheat oven to 375°F and line cupcake pan with cupcake liners
Combine cupcake ingredients in mixing bowl and beat until well combined, making sure to scrape down the sides as needed.
Add about 2 tbsp of batter to liners so they're about 3/4 full.
Reduce oven to 350°F.
Bake cupcakes for about 18-20 minutes until toothpick comes clean.
Let set in pan for a couple of minutes before transferring to oven rack to finish cooling.
Frosting:
Combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and pudding mix in mixing bowl and beat until stiff peaks form.
Pipe frosting onto cupcakes
Cats:
(See video below for visual step-by-step)
Using a spoon, spread frosting out on one side of the Oreos.
Sprinkle frosted side with chocolate jimmies.
Add just a dab of chocolate frosting to the backs of the eyes and stick on the Oreo.
Add a little dab of frosting to the chocolate chips and adhere two to the top of the Oreo to make the ears.
Use the pink gel to make a nose and the white gel to draw whiskers.
Stick in the frosted cupcakes and enjoy!
