Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 pkg. (2-layer size) French vanilla cake mix
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can (16 oz.) ready-to-spread vanilla frosting, divided
6 to 8 drops green food coloring
24 vanilla creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookies, cut in half
48 ring-shaped chewy fruit snacks
48 JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows

Steps:

Prepare cake batter as directed on package; stir in chocolate morsels. Spoon into 24 paper-lined muffin cups. Bake as directed on package. Cool completely on wire rack.
Remove 1/4 cup frosting; set aside for later use. Add a few drops of food coloring to the remaining frosting; stir until well blended. Gradually stir in additional food coloring until frosting is desired shade. Spread evenly onto cupcakes.
Stand 2 cookie halves on top of each cupcake for the "frog's eyes." Attach marshmallows to fruit snacks with some of the reserved frosting, then attach to the frogs with remaining frosting to resemble buggy eyes.
