Ingredients

Cupcakes of your choice
1 can (16 ounces) chocolate frosting
Oreo cookies
1/4 cup vanilla frosting
Chocolate-covered peppermint candies
Small banana-shaped hard candies (Runts)

Directions

Frost cupcakes with chocolate frosting.
Split the sandwich cookies in half, keeping the cream side whole (microwaving a few cookies at a time for several seconds helps to keep the cream side solid). Place the cookies, cream side up, on the cupcakes for eyes. Cut remaining cookie pieces crosswise into thirds; discard the center third and set the rest aside.
With the vanilla frosting, attach the chocolate-covered mints for eyes; pipe pupils.
Place reserved cookie pieces above eyes for the ears. Pipe chocolate frosting on ears and around eyes. For beaks, press yellow candies between eyes.
