1 package (18-1/4 ounces) chocolate cake mix
1 can (16 ounces) chocolate frosting
24 vanilla wafers
Black and red decorating gel
48 light blue, dark blue or white milk chocolate M&M's
12 peanut butter cream-filled sandwich cookies
DIRECTIONS
Prepare cake batter; bake according to package directions for cupcakes. Cool completely on wire racks.
Set aside 1/4 cup frosting. Frost cupcakes with remaining frosting. With a serrated knife, cut off and discard a fourth from each vanilla wafer. Place a wafer on each cupcake, with the rounded edge of wafer near edge of cupcake, for face. Add dots of black gel for nostrils. With red gel, pipe a mouth on each.
Place M&M's above wafers for eyes; add dots of black gel for pupils. Using reserved frosting and a #16 star tip, pipe hair. Carefully separate sandwich cookies; cut each in half. Position one on each side of cupcakes for ears.
Yield: 2 dozen.
