Witch Hat Cupcakes are easy Halloween Cupcakes that take just 5 ingredients to make! You kids will love helping you make these fun and easy Halloween treats!
Happy October! It’s my favorite month of year! Fall leaves, cooler weather, Halloween, and all sorts of fun treats, soups and comfort foods! Even though Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, I don’t crazy with decorations and treats. I like to keep things pretty simple.
I think most moms with small kids can agree that you don’t have a ton of time to make fancy Halloween treats for your child’s halloween parties. I love cute and festive treats–as long as they are simple!
Some great examples of impressive but EASY halloween treats include these Chocolate Chip Spider Cookies and Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting.
I’ve seen several cute candy witch hats lately, but I wanted to make a halloween cupcake with them because cupcakes are one of my favorite treats to bring to Halloween parties.
These Witch Hat Cupcakes are fun and festive, but super easy too. My kids love to help make the Oreo witches hats and add the sprinkles.

Very easy and really cute. I had no problems making these cupcakes. They were a hit at my granddaughter’s little Halloween Party, everyone was impressed, including myself, I usually don’t have much luck at these type of little cakes. They came out adorable!
Thank you. Have fun.
I have a question, i’m making these for work, i start work at 5:00am, so my cupcakes need to be all prepared the night before. I’m concerned the frosting will soften the oreo cookie. Will that happen or do they stay firm? Can’t wait to make them!
The Oreo will likely soften. You could make the cupcakes but wait to add the oreo part.
Did you move your cream cheese icing recipe? The link says error.
I’ve fixed the link, thanks!
These were A big hit!
Do you make your own cupcakes or use a boxed chocolate cake mix. If you make them from scratch where is your recipe and also your cream cheese icing recipe. Thanks Margo..
Hi Margo, you can do either. Notice the ingredients “chocolate cupcakes” and “cream cheese frosting” are both links to those recipes, but here they are again: https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/chocolate-cupcakes-chocolate-buttercream-frosting/ https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/red-velvet-cupcakes/
My cream cheese icing is so runny! I followed the recipe exactly, and even added more powdered sugar to try to stiffen it up. Any tips on how to get it to hold it’s shape? Refrigerate for a while? Add more sugar? Help please!
Yes, just add more powdered sugar to stiffen it up. Refrigerating will help as well.
How did you get that neon green color for the frosting? Which brand coloring did you use?
Hi Heather, I use wilton brand coloring gels–this was with the green 🙂
