Preparation
Bake cupcakes according to package directions (you’ll typically need water, eggs, and oil, as directed in mix package). Cool completely.
For the frosting, in a large bowl beat butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Add milk as needed until you reach your desired consistency. Spread or pipe frosting onto cupcakes.
Using powdered sugar and wax paper, roll fondant out to be about ¼ inch thick. Cut out circles using the end of an icing tip. Place a dot in the center for the pupils using black icing.
In a medium microwave safe bowl, melt candy melts and coconut oil until smooth. Dip oreos into candy melts. Top each oreo with one or 2 eyes. Place on wax paper until set.
Use black icing to add goggles or hair to the Minions. Place a cookie on top of each cupcake.
