Ingredients
- 15.5 ounces Boxed Chocolate Cake Mix
- 3.4 ounces box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 7 ounces marshmallow fluff
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- green food coloring
- 16 ounces chocolate frosting
- 2 cups Oreo cookies crushed
- 2 cups green candy melts melted
- 20 Marshmallow ghosts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl combine boxed cake mix, chocolate pudding mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, and eggs.
- Prepare a muffin pan by inserting a cupcake liner in each cup.
- Once combined pour the chocolate cupcake batter into the cupcake liners filling about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 20 - 25 minutes until you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean.
- Remove cupcakes from oven and let them cool completely.
- Make the ghost goo filling by mixing the melted butter and marshmallow fluff together. Add green food coloring until you reach the desired color.
- Cut a small hole out of the center of each cupcake making sure not to go through to the bottom. Save the core that you remove and cut off a portion, leaving the top to act as a flat “cap” in the next step.
- Fill the hole with the green marshmallow cream and place the cap you created on top of the cupcake.
- Frost each filled cupcake and then turn them upside down and dip them in the crushed cookies.
- Melt the green candy melts and dip the ghosts in the melts about halfway. Press the ghost on top of the cupcake.
- Enjoy!
