Ingredients

1 pkg. (2-layer size) chocolate cake mix
1 pkg. (3.9 oz.) JELL-O Chocolate Flavor Instant Pudding
1 cup water
4 egg whites
2 Tbsp. oil
10 rolls (0.5 oz. each) strawberry fruit leather
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 Tbsp. milk, divided
1 lb. powdered sugar
1 tube (0.75 oz.) black decorating gel
3 Tbsp. chocolate sprinkles

Steps:

Heat oven to 350ºF.
Beat first 5 ingredients in large bowl with mixer until blended. Spoon into 24 paper-lined muffin pan cups.
Bake 21 to 24 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool cupcakes in pans 10 min.; remove to wire racks. Cool completely. Meanwhile, cut 24 half-circles, each about 3 inches in diameter, from fruit leather rolls for the pirates' bandanas.
Beat cream cheese, butter and 1 Tbsp. milk in large bowl with mixer until blended. Gradually beat in sugar until well blended. If frosting is too thin, beat in remaining milk, 1 tsp. at a time, until frosting is of desired spreading consistency. Spread onto cupcakes.
Top with fruit leather cutouts. Use decorating gel to form eyes, eye-patches and mouth. Use sprinkles to form beard stubble.
