## Ingredients

- 1 pkg. (15.25 oz.) devil's food cake mix
- 1 container (12 oz.) ready-to-spread fluffy white whipped frosting
- 2 oz. semi-sweet baking chocolate (1/2 of a 4-oz. bar)
- 24 OREO Cookies
- 48 mini candy eyeballs (about 1-1/2 tsp.)

## Directions

1. Prepare cake batter as directed on package. Spoon into 24 paper-lined muffin cups. Bake as directed on package for cupcakes. Cool completely.
2. Spread frosting evenly onto tops of cupcakes.
3. Melt chocolate as directed on package; cool slightly. Reserve 2 tsp. chocolate for later use. Use remaining chocolate to drizzle 8 lines onto top of each cupcake to resemble the legs of a spider.
4. Top each cupcake with 1 cookie for the spider's body, gently pressing cookie into frosting to secure. Use some of the reserved chocolate to attach 2 candy eyeballs to each cookie for the spider's eyes.
