Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Bake chocolate cupcakes according to your favorite recipe or follow the package instructions, about 18–20 minutes.

Let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

While cooling, prepare your chocolate fudge frosting by whipping it up or mixing store-bought until smooth.

Generously frost each cooled cupcake with a thick layer of chocolate fudge frosting.

Press one cookie onto the center of each frosted cupcake to form the base of your witch hats.

Attach a piece of candy corn or licorice to the top of each cookie using a small dollop of frosting.

Sprinkle colorful themed sprinkles around or on top of the cupcakes for a festive touch.

Serve and enjoy at your Halloween gathering!
