The 'Owl' muffins are not just a dessert but a true work of art that combines the softness of chocolate pastry with the crunchy texture of Oreo cookies. This original recipe is inspired by the idea of creating a fun and unique treat perfect for children's parties or cozy family evenings. The rich chocolate flavor is complemented by the gentle sweetness of Nutella, while the playful eyes made from cookies and M&M's give the muffins a whimsical character. Easy to make, they require no complicated ingredients but look impressive and bring smiles to everyone who tries them. They pair perfectly with a cup of hot cocoa or milk, becoming a symbol of home comfort and festive spirit.

Next, we decorate the muffins with cookies and candies.

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

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.

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.
