Equipment

Ingredients

1 chocolate cake mix I like Duncan Hines Devil's Food cake or Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake
4 ounces instant chocolate pudding small boxes
1 cup warm water
¾ cup vegetable oil
5 large eggs you can also use large if that's what you have
20 Reese's Mini Peanut Butter Cups unwrapped
32 ounces vanilla frosting
Green food coloring
40 Candy eye balls

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line your pan with cupcake liners.
Mix the first 5 ingredients until just combined.
Spoon batter ¼ of the way into the cups.
Place a peanut butter cup into the cup.
Cover it with batter (it should be most of the way full at this point).
Bake for 17-20 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
Mix food coloring into the frosting until it reaches the desired shade of green.
Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes (I went for height but you can always use less if you don't want them to be as tall).
Randomly place the candy eyeballs all over the frosting to resemble a monster.
Refrigerate until ready to serve to set the frosting.

Notes

You can always make these to match whatever your theme is- they don't have to be monster cupcakes!
