These witch hat cupcakes are so cute and the taste even better. You can use box mix or homemade cupcakes or even store bought cupcakes! I added green frosting on top for the witches face, and then Oreos and chocolate for the witches hat! If you want to pair these with another treat, make my witches brooms!

Ingredients Needed

  • Cupcakes: You can use store bought cupcakes or homemade cupcakes!
  • Oreos: For the brim of the hat
  • Kisses: The tip of the hat
  • Red Gel Food Coloring or other frosting to adhere the Kiss to the cookie
  • Frosting: Make homemade vanilla buttercream frosting or buy store-bought frosting. I add green food coloring to the frosting.

How to Make Halloween Cupcakes

  1. Add a bit of frosting or gel icing to the bottom of a Hershey’s kiss and stick it on the center of the Oreo to mimic a witch hat.
  2. Color your vanilla frosting green in a piping bag. Frost cupcakes as desired (to represent the witch face).
  3. Top each cupcake with the witch hat.

Expert Tips

  • You can use regular cupcakes or mini cupcakes.
  • I’ve bought store bought cupcakes and scraped off the frosting then added my homemade buttercream and no one knows the difference!
  • Store these in an airtight container but the Oreo will soften after a day or so. I do not recommend freezing these.
