# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, granulated and brown sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until fully blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
04 - Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture and stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
05 - Divide batter evenly among prepared liners. Bake 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
06 - Beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually sift in powdered sugar and cocoa powder, then beat until smooth. Incorporate milk, vanilla, and salt; continue beating until light and fluffy.
07 - Once cupcakes are cool, top each with chocolate buttercream using a spatula to create mound shapes resembling soil.
08 - Sprinkle crushed chocolate sandwich cookies over the buttercream to imitate earth.
09 - Form white fondant into small oval shapes for bunny feet and a round ball for the tail. Use pink gel or fondant to add paw pads on each foot.
10 - Place two fondant feet and one tail on each cupcake to simulate a bunny diving into the burrow. Optionally, add mini marshmallows for additional tail fluff.
11 - Display cupcakes on a tray arranged to resemble a playful bunny burrow scene.
