Ingredients
  

  • 1 box cake mix (prepared as 24 cupcakes)
  • 1 (15 ounce) tub prepared chocolate frosting
  • 16 ounce package Nutter Butter cookies
  • 1 (11 ounce) bag candy corn
  • 1 package Wilton candy eyeballs
  • 24 colored M&M candies (I suggest having extra in case some don't cut perfectly)
  • 2-3 ropes red licorice
  • 1 bottle Wilton white cookie icing

Instructions
 

  • Prepare cupcakes according to package directions.
  • Frost cupcakes.
  • Using Wilton white cookie icing as a sort  of  glue, attach two eyes, a snip of licorice as a wattle, and a cut M&M as a beak to Nutter Butter cookies and allow to set up and dry for 45 minutes until the icing hardens.
  • Push the cookie into the center of the cupcake.
  • Push candy corn behind the cookie to act as tail  feathers.
