Ingredients

  • 1 box cake mix plus ingredients necessary to make mix into batter
  • 1 tub frosting
  • 1 bag candy small the size of M&Ms or small sprinkles

Instructions

  • Prepare batter into cake mix, white is best. If you want to make multi colored cupcakes divide batter into separate bowls and color as you wish.
  • Put cupcake liners into pan. Preheat oven to necessary temperature on your box.
  • Fill cupcake liner with batter 3/4 of the way full. Bake as directed on the box, usually takes 18-22 minutes until they spring back when gently touched in the center.
  • Take out and allow them to cool completely. Use a knife to cut the middle of the cupcake out, keep tops. Do not cut all the way down to the bottom, needs to stay in tact, just a hole in the center.
  • Take top off of cupcake and fill with small candies or sprinkles. Cut the very top off of the cupcake middle that was cut out and place the top back on to seal the candy inside.
  • Frost the top and then serve.
