Ingredients

1-1/2 cups root beer, divided
1 env. (1/4 oz.) KNOX Unflavored Gelatine
1 pkg. (2-layer size) yellow cake mix
1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup cold milk
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed

Steps:

Microwave 3/4 cup root beer in small microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 min. Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatine over 1/4 cup of the remaining root beer in medium bowl; let stand 1 min.
Add hot root beer to softened gelatine; stir until gelatine is completely dissolved. Refrigerate 1-1/2 hours or until thickened.
Meanwhile, prepare cake batter and bake as directed on package for 24 cupcakes. Cool. While cupcakes are cooling, beat pudding mix, sugar, milk and remaining root beer in large bowl with whisk 2 min. Stir in COOL WHIP. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Use end of wooden spoon to poke hole in top of each cupcake, being careful not to poke hole completely through to bottom of cupcake. Spoon gelatine mixture into resealable plastic bag. Cut small piece off one bottom corner of bag; use to squeeze gelatine mixture into holes in cupcakes.
