- 1 bag M&M’S® Brand Peanut Chocolate Candies
- 1 bag M&M’S® Brand MINIS® Milk Chocolate Candies

What to do:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the cupcake pans with the paper cupcake liners.
- Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions. Unwrap and chop 1-1/2 cups SNICKERS® Brand Minis and fold them into the batter. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.

- Spread the cupcakes’ tops with the green frosting.
- On each cupcake, place 2 green M&M’S® Brand Peanut Chocolate Candies close together as eyes. Snip a small corner of the resealable plastic bag, and use the vanilla frosting to pipe dots on the green M&M’S® Brand Peanut Chocolate Candies. Attach 2 brown M&M’S® Brand MINIS® Milk Chocolate Candies as pupils. On the back, attach green M&M’S® Brand MINIS® Milk Chocolate Candies as warts, and then pipe a red mouth with the decorating icing.
