Ingredient

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix (or your favorite flavor)
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
1 tub (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frosting
Green food color
4 rolls Betty Crocker™ Fruit by the Foot™ Flavor Mixers chewy fruit flavored snack (from 4.5-oz box)
48 candy eyes
1 tube (0.68 oz) Betty Crocker™ black decorating gel or 1 tub (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Chocolate Frosting

Instructions

Step 1
Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 24 cupcakes. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Step 2
In small bowl, mix vanilla frosting and green food color until desired shade; frost cupcakes. Unroll fruit snack, and cut off 4-inch strips of desired colors to make masks on cupcakes. Place cut strip on cutting board. Starting about 1 inch from left side of fruit snack, use small sharp knife to cut small horizontal slits for eyes about 1 inch apart. Place candy eyes under slits in fruit snacks. Cut small horizontal slit in fruit snack on right side to form tie for mask. Place masks on cupcakes.

Step 3
Use gel to make mouths on cupcakes. Or place chocolate frosting in small resealable food-storage plastic bag, and cut off small corner of sealed bag; pipe mouths on cupcakes.

Recipe Tips

Bake and frost the cupcakes up to a day ahead. Make the masks with eyes the day before also. Store in sealed container to prevent them from drying out.
You can use Betty Crocker™ Fruit Roll-Ups™ Hot Colors fruit flavored snack to make the masks, also. Cut strips 1/2 inch wide and 4 inches long for masks.
