Servings: 24

Prep Time: 70 min.

Cook Time: 25 min.

Ingredients

  • 1 box (18.25 oz.) favorite cake mix
  • 1 can (16 oz.) chocolate frosting
  • 1 cup ground chocolate cookies
  • 24 three-inch soft lady fingers
  • 1 cup vanilla frosting
  • 1/4 cup mini M&M's
  • 1 tube black decorating frosting

Supplies

  • Tweezers (optional)
Tip: For easier spreading, make sure the icing is at room temperature before you use it.

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 24 cupcake cups with paper liners. Prepare the cake mix according to package directions. Divide evenly between the prepared liners. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean; 22 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.

  2. Step 2

    While parents spread the chocolate frosting on top of the cooled cupcakes, kids can crumble the chocolate cookies in a zip-close plastic bag. (Use a rolling pin to break them up fine.) Kids can help roll the frosted cupcakes in the ground crumbs to coat.

  3. Step 3

    Place a lady finger on top of each cupcake. Spoon the vanilla frosting into a resealable bag and snip a small corner from the bag. Pipe a line across the top third of the lady finger. Add the mini candies as the eyes. Pipe slightly overlapping lines all over the lady finger. Pipe black dots on the candies as eyes. (Parents may want to do this part.) Continue with the remaining ingredients.

Tip: If you prefer, you can decorate all of mummies at the same time on a piece of wax paper. Use your fingers or a pair of tweezers to place them gently on top of the cupcakes.
