Time 2h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ chocolate fudge cake mix or 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ vanilla or yellow cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
6 cups powdered sugar
2/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 to 4 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon orange paste food color
24 fudge-striped shortbread cookies
1 1/2 cups dark cocoa candy melts or coating wafers (9 oz)
24 Bugles® snacks
Star-shaped candy sprinkles

Steps:

  • Make, bake and cool cake mix as directed on box for cupcakes, using water, oil and eggs.
  • In large bowl, mix powdered sugar and butter with spoon or electric mixer on low speed. Stir in vanilla and 3 tablespoons of the milk. Gradually beat in just enough remaining milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable. If frosting is too thick, beat in more milk, a few drops at a time. If frosting becomes too thin, beat in a small amount of powdered sugar. Tint frosting with orange paste food color. Place 1/2 cup frosting in small resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and set aside. Frost cupcakes with remaining orange frosting.
  • Place 1 cookie, striped side down, on each cupcake. In microwavable bowl, microwave candy melts on Medium (50%) 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Dip snacks in melted candy; place upright in center of each cookie. Immediately decorate with candy sprinkles.
  • Cut off tiny corner (about 1/8 inch) of bag of frosting. Pipe frosting around base of chocolate-dipped snacks to resemble ribbon band.
