M&M Filled Cupcakes

Boxed cake mix never looked so good.  These cupcakes are as easy as baking up a batch of boxed mix cupcakes, cutting a hole and frosting. 

Ingredients

  • 1 box cake mix + ingredients called for on box
  • 1 batch icing I used this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/174347/quick-and-almost-professional-buttercream-icing/, enough for 24 cupcakes
  • 2 C m&m candies

Instructions

  • Follow instructions on box to create cupcakes. Bake and cool on a wire rack.
  • Once cupcakes have cooled, use a paring knife to hollow out the center of the cupcake, being sure to save the piece you remove. Fill the hole with m&ms. Take the top portion of the cupcake that you removed and trim the pointy end off. Place top back on cupcake, covering the m&ms.
  • Prepare icing.
  • Spread icing over the tops of cupcakes or use a piping bag and decorative tip to ice cupcakes (I used Wilton 1M tip)
