This post will be a short one. I’ve been sick with a fall flu for the past couple days and have spent more time in bed than I care for. I miss my kitchen and the real desire for food! I still got myself to make these over the weekend, and it helped take my mind off of things for a little while. These cute little owls caught my eye on a couple different blogs and given the owl craze I recently blogged about and Halloween merely days away, it only seemed fair that I give these a try. The only tricky part to this recipe is separating the Oreo cookies to make the owl’s eyes. My method included a flat knife and placing the Oreos for a couple seconds in the microwave. If you have any tips on how to perfectly separate the two halves – I’m a taker! Please leave a comment with your best tip!
Owl Cupcakes
– Use your favourite chocolate cupcake recipe and dark chocolate frosting.
– Separate oreos for the eyes
– Use smarties for the nose
– Junior mints for the pupil (dabbed with a tiny bit of frosting to make sure they stay put)
Enjoy the read!

You could try using the Late July green tea cream/and chocolate cookies. They look like Oreos, but are way more delicious and a little easier to separate. Plus they come in a mini version for mini eyes! Hope your flu is gone very soon!
