M&M baseball cupcakes

This idea is from BrightIdeas.com and I simply love it! It is so easy; I only wish I knew where they got the cupcake liners. No fear though. If you can’t locate something similar I would go with a white baking liner (use a white cake mix and egg whites… and maybe substitute apple sauce for the oil to keep the liners crisp) and red and white grosgrain ribbon.

Here’s all you need:

1 box (18.25 oz.) yellow cake mix

2 cups chopped MILKY WAY® Bars

2 12-oz. cans whipped vanilla frosting

3 cups M&M’S® Brand Chocolate Candies

2 12-cup muffin tins

Paper cupcake liners

And here are the simple steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Prepare the cake mix according to the directions on the package. Fold the MILKY WAY® Bars into the batter.
3. Line the muffin tins and fill. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool completely before spreading with whipped frosting.
4. Following the photograph, decorate the cupcakes with single color M&M’S® Brand Chocolate Candies to create the baseball seams.

Happy baking!
