These “batty” cupcakes are nice and scary, but they taste delicious.  Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate!  You’ll gladly bite into this bat.

1 (18.25 oz.) pkg. chocolate cake mix
1 (16 oz.) can chocolate ready to spread frosting
24 fudge cookies, halved
24 chocolate kisses
Red decorating gel

Prepare the cake and bake as directed on the package for 24 cupcakes.
Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack
Frost the cupcakes with the frosting.
Place 2 halves of the cookies into each cupcake to represent the bat wings being sure the stripes are to the backside of the cupcake.
Carefully press a chocolate kiss into the front of the cupcake to represent the bats head.
Place two small drops of the red decorating gel onto the kiss to form the eyes.

Makes 24 cupcakes
