Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.

Step 2

Combine cake mix, 1 cup water, 3 eggs, and ⅓ cup oil in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared muffin tin. 

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 18 to 21 minutes. Cool. Frost cupcakes with chocolate frosting.

Step 4

Break cookies in half. Press two halves into the top of each cupcake for wings, stripes facing frosting. Place chocolate kiss in front with the point facing forward for the body. Make eyes using red gel icing.
