Ingredients

  • One box yellow cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • Green Food Coloring
  • 24 Cake Cones
  • One Can Chocolate Frosting
  • One package Oreo Cookies
  • 48-72 Gummy Worms 2-3 worms per cupcake

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place ice cream cones upright in the wells of two 12-well muffin pans and set aside.
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water until smooth.
  • Add roughly ¼ to ½ teaspoon green gel food coloring (or 3-5 drops of liquid food coloring) to the batter and whisk until the food coloring is incorporated and the cake batter is green colored.
  • Pour about ¼ cup of cake batter into the center of each ice cream cone and place the pan into the oven.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cake batter is completely set, and a cake tester or knife comes out clean when inserted into the center of a cupcake. Allow the cupcake cones to cool completely.
  • While the cupcakes are cooling, discard the cream centers of the Oreo cookies. Place the chocolate Oreo wafers into a plastic baggie, seal bag and crush wafers with a rolling pin or your hands. Pour the crushed chocolate cookies into a shallow bowl or dish and set aside.
  • When the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost generously with chocolate frosting, ensuring that the frosting is spread to the rim of each ice cream cone.
  • Immediately after frosting each cupcake cone, turn it upside-down and dip it frosting-side down into the crushed Oreos.
  • Turn the cones back to frosting-side up, top with gummy worms by pushing the worms down into the frosting.
