These are crafty and cute and your kids will get a kick out of them. But best of all they are so easy to make. Nothing to it.
Check it out:
First, you make yourself some cupcakes. I added mashed banana to a box mix, which not only gave it great banana flavor but also made them super moist.
Ginger snaps cut into 2 pieces, one just a little larger than the other I'd say 60/40. If your ginger snaps are as hard as ours were place them on a plate, cover with a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds. They will soften right up to help make the cut clean.
You'll also need chocolate frosting, a bit of white icing, mini oreos and brown m&ms
Frost the cupcake with a thin layer of the chocolate.
Place the ginger snap like so- to create the "mug"
Split the mini oreos in two, like you did when you were a kid and wanted to lick the cream except don't lick the cream this time... someone else might not appreciate your tongue on their monkey's ear. Take the two halves of oreo and stick to the cupcake. You might need to frost the oreos a little more to get them to stay put.
Take some of the chocolate frosting and put it into a plastic sandwich bag. Snip the teeniest bit off of one of the corners to create a piping bag. Now pipe the hair and the nostrils.
Put a dollop of the white icing where the eyes go and top with m&ms.
And Viola!
Super cute and very impressive!
