Halloween Witch Hat Cupcakes



INGREDIENTS
· 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)

Cream Cheese Filling*

· 8 oz Cream Cheese (room temperature)

· 1/2 cup Sugar

· 1 Egg

· 1 tsp Vanilla

To Color the Filling Green

· 34 drops Green Food Coloring

· 3 drops Yellow Food Coloring

· 2 drops Blue Food Coloring

For the Witch Hats

· 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


Instructions
· 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.
