Ingredients

1 pkg. cake mix (any flavor)

Water

Oil

Eggs

1 (16-oz.) can vanilla frosting

2 tablespoons red decorator sugar

48 chocolate chips

24 red cinnamon candies

1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows (about 144)

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F. Line 24 muffin cups with paper baking cups. Prepare and bake cake mix as directed on package for cupcakes, using water, oil and eggs. Cool 30 minutes or until completely cooled.

Spread frosting over cupcakes. Sprinkle top 1/3 of each cupcake with about 1/8 teaspoon decorator sugar to form Santa's hat.

To make each Santa's face, place chocolate chips for eyes and cinnamon candy for nose. Cut 2 marshmallows in half lengthwise; arrange to form rim of hat. Cut 4 marshmallows in half crosswise; cover lower part of cupcake to form beard.

Notes

Cutting 4 marshmallows crosswise makes beard go all around from hat edge to hat edge if desired which isn’t what this picture shows but what the printed card shows.

You do not have to add marshmallows for cheeks.
