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!
