# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
03 - In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
04 - Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
05 - Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
06 - Beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually sift in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until smooth. Add milk, vanilla extract, and salt, and beat until fluffy.
07 - Once cooled, pipe or spread the chocolate buttercream atop each cupcake, forming mounds to create an earthy texture.
08 - Sprinkle crushed chocolate sandwich cookies over the buttercream to simulate soil.
09 - Shape white fondant into small ovals for bunny feet and a small round ball for the tail. Use pink gel or fondant to add paw pads on the feet.
10 - Place two fondant feet and one tail on each cupcake to mimic a bunny diving into its burrow. Optionally, add mini marshmallows near the tail for extra fluff.
11 - Arrange the decorated cupcakes on a tray, forming a playful scene resembling a bunny burrow.
