Make these cute Santa Claus cupcakes for your next holiday party or just for fun. The kids will have a ball helping to makes these. They are super easy because you can just use a cake mix and pre-made frosting.

Ingredients:

1 box white cake mix and required ingredients listed on the box (i.e. eggs, oil & water)
1 container white frosting
10 oz. Mini Marshmallows
48 Chocolate Chips
24 Red M&M’s
Red sugar sprinkles

Bake cupcakes as directed on box. Allow cupcakes to cool.

Spread a flat layer of white frosting onto each cupcake. Place mini marshmallows along the bottom edge of the cupcake to form the Santa beard (you will stop 1/2 way up the cupcake). Place mini marshmallows in a slightly rounded line across the top half of the cupcake to create the Santa hat.

Place two chocolate chips below the hat line to create the eyes. Place a red M&M slightly below the eyes in the center to create a nose. Sprinkle red sugar sprinkles only on the top of the cupcake above the marshmallow line for the hat. Roll a mini marshmallow into a ball. Dip the edge of the ball in frosting and place on one side of the sprinkled hat to complete the hat.

You will repeat this process on all 24 cupcakes.
