These carrot cake cupcakes are made extra easy thanks to a box of Betty's cake mix! With just 10 minutes of prep, 24 servings of everyone's favorite springtime treat could baking away in your oven. And their easy assembly doesn't bar you from customizing these sweet treats. Go ahead and choose your own adventure by mixing in chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, for a bit of crunch; stirring in shredded coconut for more texture; adding in raisins, dried fruits or even chocolate chips for a little added sweetness. Add what appeals to you and the end results will be delicious!
