Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12-cup muffin tins or line cups with paper liners.
2
Beat cake mix, 1 cup water, 3 eggs, and ⅓ cup oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium; beat for 2 minutes. Divide batter among the prepared cups.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, 18 to 21 minutes. Cool. Frost cupcakes with frosting.

Break cookies in half; press two halves, stripe-sides down, into tops of each cupcake for wings. Place chocolate kisses in front of wings, points-facing forward, for bodies. Dot top-sides kisses with red gel icing for eyes.
