1. Prepare cake mix according to package instructions. Pour the batter into cupcake pans and bake as directed. Let them cool properly before frosting.
2. Slowly spread chocolate icing on the cupcakes. Sprinkle cookie crumbs on the top of each cupcake.
3. Cut gummi worms into half. On the end of the each worm, put icing and stick on the top of cupcakes. You can put as few or as many as will fit easily on each cupcake. Let icing set for 10-15 minutes and then serve.
