Recipe: Black Cat Cupcakes (using cake mix and Oreos)

BLACK CAT CUPCAKES

18 1/4 oz reduced fat chocolate cake mix
1 1/4 cups Reduced Fat Oreo Cookie crumbs
24 Halloween Oreo Cookies
16 oz reduced fat milk chocolate frosting
Black string licorice
Jelly beans
Semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare 24 (2 1/2-inch) muffin cups with cooking spray and flour; set aside.

Prepare cake mix batter according to package directions; stir in cookie crumbs. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.

Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from pans; cool on wire rack.

Make cat faces on each of the Halloween Oreo cookies: using some frosting, attach 4 (1 1/2-inch) licorice strings for whiskers, 2 jelly bean halves for eyes and 2 chocolate chips for ears. Let set at least 30 minutes.

Frost cupcakes with remaining frosting. Stand cat faces on edge on each cupcake. Place 3-inch piece licorice string on back half of each cupcake for tail.
