Prepare cake batter according to directions. Allow cupcakes to cool.
Frost cupcakes with chocolate frosting.
Mash around 6 chocolate cookies with a rolling pin, and sprinkle cookie crumbles on top of the frosting.
Cut chocolate cookies into quarters and apply two pieces to each cupcake to make ears.
Apply yellow jelly beans for eyes. To make pupils, use small slivers of black licorice or apply chocolate frosting with a toothpick.
Cut purple jelly beans in half and put them onto the cupcakes for noses.
Slice licorice ropes into desired length and width for whiskers.
Enjoy!
