For decoration:
- 1 cup chocolate frosting

Instructions
- Prepare the cupcakes: Preheat the oven and prepare the chocolate cupcakes according to the package directions. Let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack.
- Decorate the cupcakes: Frost each cupcake with chocolate frosting. Carefully twist apart the chocolate sandwich cookies. Break one half of each cookie in half to create two wings for each bat.

Repeat with remaining cupcakes.
