Make cake batter according to package, color with green food coloring, and bake cupcakes according to package directions.
-
Mix red & blue food coloring into buttercream. This will give a weird purple/grey-ish color, I like this color for the witch’s hair. Frost cupcake with “purple” buttercream.
-
Combine chocolate chips and shortening in a glass bowl, and microwave for 1 minute on 50% power. Stir until chocolate is smooth. If needed, nuke chocolate again for 30 seconds at 50% power, and stir. Repeate as necessary. DO NOT overheat chocolate, it will get clumpy and gross.
-
Place Keebler cookies, chocolate side up on a plate. Dip Bugles into melted chocolate. Let the run off chocolate act and the seal between the Bugles and the cookies. I had to hold the Bugle in place for a minute to make sure they would stand up. Place cookie hats in fridge for 10 minutes to let chocolate seal set.
-
Once chocolate is set, pipe green butter cream along the seal between the Bugle and the cookie.
-
Place cookie hat on top of the cupcake.
