In a large bowl, beat the butter until it is smooth. Add in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder and beat them into the butter.

Add the frosting to a piping bag, and pipe the frosting onto the top of each cupcake. Add a candy bar to the middle of each cupcake.

Then add a little frosting to the back of two candy eyes, and each red m&m and attach them to the candy bar.
