I made some mini Cookie Monster cupcakes for Jason's birthday a few years back, but I wanted to see if they could work just as well using this mould.

I kept it simple making a vanilla sponge, using the additional insert in the base of the cupcake so that there was a cavity inside for some sweet treats (in this case crispy m&m's), I then covered the whole thing in blue frosting followed by dyed blue coconut. I then made the eyes by meting some white chocolate and then pouring the mixture into baking cases and leaving to set, and then placing a large milk chocolate drop in the centre for the pupils.

I also made my own milk chocolate chunk cookies, these came out a little chunkier than expected, in that they didn't quite fit, but after a bit of manoeuvring and careful carving of both the cookie and the cake I managed to get it to stay in place.

Here's the finished result . . .
