Witches’ Brew Cupcakes


Ingredients
White cake mix
White cream cheese frosting
Mini marshmallows
Mini chocolate chips
Bite-sized braided pretzel sticks
Pop Rocks® candy
Green gel food coloring

Directions
1. Prepare the white cake batter according to the directions on the box, adding a few drops of green
gel food coloring to the batter. Pour batter into greased cupcake pans.
2. While cupcakes are baking, mix a few drops of green gel food coloring into the cream cheese
frosting until the desired color has been achieved. Set aside 2 tbsp. of frosting.
3. After the cupcakes have cooled, frost the top of the cupcakes.
4. Using the frosting you set aside, create the “eyeballs” by adding a drop of frosting to the mini
chocolate chips and sticking them to the mini marshmallows. Place the marshmallow “eyeballs” onto
the cupcakes, slightly pushing the marshmallow into the frosting to secure in place.
5. Press a bite-sized braided pretzel stick into the cupcake to represent the witches’ brew stirring
stick.
6. Sprinkle the cupcakes with Pop Rocks® right before serving to give them an extra “pop”.
