Calories: 555kcal
Ingredients
Witch hats:
- 200 g Black candy melts
- 12 Oreo Halves with the filling scraped off (or you can use Oreo thins)
- 12 Mini Ice cream cones (or cut the ends off of full-sized cones using a serrated knife)
Cupcakes:
- 190 g Softened butter
- 190 g Caster sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 Medium Eggs
- 190 g Self-raising flour
- Black gel food colouring (as much as needed to get your desired shade)
Frosting:
- 120 g Softened butter
- 500 g Icing sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Milk
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Lime green food colouring
Instructions
Witch hats:
- Line a tray with baking paper.
- Melt the candy melts in a saucepan or heatproof bowl.
- Dip an Oreo half into the candy melts then place it onto your tray. Then dip a mini ice cream cone into the candy melts and place it directly on top of the Oreo. Repeat until you have 12 witch hats.
- Place your witch hats in the fridge for 30 minutes until the candy melts have hardened then gently peel them off the baking paper.
Cupcakes:
- Preheat your oven to 160℃ (140℃ for fan ovens) and line a cupcake or muffin tin with 12 black cupcake cases.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until soft and fluffy then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix in the flour and the eggs, a little bit at a time, until you have a smooth, thick cake batter. Then stir in the black food colouring.
- Divide the batter between your 12 cases and bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick through the middle comes out clean. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
Frosting:
- Add the butter to a bowl. Stir in half of the icing sugar and half of the milk. Once that's smooth, add the other half and mix well.
- Stir the vanilla extract and lime green food colouring into the frosting then transfer it to a piping bag fitted with your favourite nozzle.
- Pipe some frosting onto each cupcake and top with an edible witch hat.
