Owl Cupcakes

 

I have seen these cupcakes all over the internet this Halloween season and wanted an excuse to make them.  Sophie has Girl Scouts snack duty today, so we went for it!  They are so simple and so cute.

You will need:
1 Package of Oreos
3 Packages of M&M's -- you will need a lot of brown ones -- for some reason we barely had any brown.
20 baked cupcakes, iced with chocolate icing.

Split your Oreos carefully.  Use the plain side for the ears.  Take a serrated knife and saw the two sides off of the circle, (see pic).  Place ears at an angle on top and a little bit poking through the cupcake.  Attach  the eyes with icing and then place brown M&M, M side down, onto the white part with a little dot of frosting.  Place a yellow or orange vertically for the beak.

 Super cute and easy!
