Equipment

  • Mini muffin pans
  • Mixing bowls
  • Piping Bag

Ingredients
  

For the Cookies

  • 1 box Devil's Food cake mix this rich mix gives a deliciously chocolatey base for your cauldron cups.
  • 2 large eggs helps bind the ingredients and add moisture to the cookies.
  • ½ cup canola or vegetable oil adds richness and keeps the cookies tender.
  • 1 drops black food coloring optional for an extra spooky touch.

For the Buttercream

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened for a creamy frosting.
  • 3 cups powdered sugar sweetens and gives fluffiness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract adds aromatic flavor.
  • ½ teaspoon salt enhances sweetness.
  • 1-3 tablespoons milk adjusts consistency for piping.
  • 1 drops green food coloring adds vibrant color.

For Topping

  • 1 cup round green sprinkles adds festive decor.
  • 1 cup Halloween sprinkles matches your celebration theme.
  • 1 cup candy eyeballs gives personality.
  • 6 pieces pretzel sticks use as stir sticks.

Instructions
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare mini muffin pans by greasing them.
  • Combine the cake mix, eggs, and oil in a bowl, mixing well. Optionally, add black food coloring.
  • Fill each mini muffin cup with dough, creating a slight dome.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are set and centers are slightly soft. Create indentations once removed from oven.
  • Allow them to cool, then beat butter until creamy. Mix in powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until fluffy.
  • Adjust the buttercream consistency with milk as needed, then mix in green food coloring.
  • Pipe the buttercream into each cooled cookie cup, filling generously.
  • Decorate with sprinkles, candy eyeballs, and top with pretzel sticks as stir sticks.

Notes

Ensure the cake mixture is thoroughly mixed for optimal texture. Adjust frosting thickness as needed for piping and cool completely before frosting.
