These adorable snowman cupcakes are a perfect treat for the winter season. Theyre not only delicious but also a fun and festive addition to any holiday gathering.

Ingredients:

  • 1 box of white cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup white frosting
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Black and orange food coloring
  • Miniature chocolate chips
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Pretzel sticks

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a cupcake pan with paper liners

In a mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water

Mix until well combined

Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the cake batter

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean

Let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack

While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting by mixing the powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth

Divide the frosting into two portions

Leave one portion white and tint the other with orange food coloring for the snowmans carrot nose

Frost each cupcake with white frosting, leaving a small circle in the center for the snowmans face

Place a miniature chocolate chip in the center for the snowmans eyes and buttons

Cut miniature marshmallows in half and place them around the top edge of the cupcake to create the snowmans head and body

Insert a pretzel stick into the top of each cupcake for the snowmans arms

Using the orange frosting, pipe a small carrot-shaped nose for each snowman

Let the frosting set, and your snowman cupcakes are ready to enjoy
