Cooking steps

1. First, we bake chocolate muffins. Beat an egg into the milk.

   • Milk: 200 ml
   • Chicken egg: 1 piece

2. Add flour to the resulting mass (sifted beforehand). Whisk.

   • Wheat flour: 300 g

   Required ingredients:

   • Sugar: 150 g
   • Cocoa: 2 tablespoons
   • Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
   • Vanilla sugar: 1 teaspoon

4. Melt the butter (100 g) and add it to the dough.

   • Butter: 120 g

5. Grease the muffin tins with the remaining butter and fill them with batter, not to the top.

6. Bake the muffins in a preheated oven for 20 minutes.

7. Next, we decorate the muffins with cookies and candies.

   Required ingredients:

   • Oreo cookies: 2 pieces
   • M&M's candies:  to taste

8. If the muffins have risen too much or have a strongly curved top, it's better to cut it off.

9. Spread Nutella on top.

   Required ingredients:

   • Nutella®: 1 jar

10. Split the Oreo cookie into 2 halves, we need the ones with the white filling (it's best to separate them with a knife). Place the cookie with the white cream facing up. The dark halves can be cut into thin strips to make eyebrows.

    Required ingredients:

    • Oreo cookies: 2 pieces

11. We use M&M's candies without nuts (brown packaging): place brown candies on the white filling - pupils, and insert yellow or orange ones (whichever you prefer) into Nutella below the eyes - beak.
