Kitchen Tips
Tip 1
Fun Idea
For more colorful cupcakes, add 1 or 2 drops each yellow and red food colorings to the remaining (plain) pudding mixture to tint it orange before piping into and spreading onto tops of filled cupcakes.
Tip 2
Variation
Omit black decorating gel. Prepare and frost cupcakes as directed. Cut black licorice into small pieces. Use to make monster faces on the coated marshmallows before placing on tops of frosted cupcakes.
Tip 3
How to Store
Keep frosted cupcakes refrigerated.
