Owl Cupcakes

I made these little devils for a work and church party.
boy, were they a hit and so easy to make.

They were a bit time consuming...but then again I did make 50!
I couldn't get some of the Oreos to come apart evenly so some of the eyes looked a bit funny.

All you need is a box of of (any) chocolate cake mix
Chocolate frosting
Oreos
and Reese Pieces

I think it's pretty self explanatory but if you want step by step deets let me know :)

I know everyone has their own spin on Fried Rice but this is how we make ours

3 Cups of Cooked rice in a bowl
add mixed veggies or just your fav. (Mr. hubby likes peas)
Ham, however much you would like... (again Mr. Hubby likes a lot)
Bacon (opt.)

Soy Sauce

I just guess and add more if I need more of the above ingredients.
