Source of Recipe


M&M's


Recipe Introduction


"Display this edible tree for a festive and delicious centerpiece!"


List of Ingredients




2 bags (11 oz. each) M&M'S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies for the Holidays
1 bag each (13.30 oz.)
3 MUSKETEERS® Brand, SNICKERS® Brand and TWIX® Brand Miniatures
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 can (16 oz.) vanilla frosting
Green food coloring
Regular sized cupcake liners
Regular sized cupcake pan


Recipe



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Chop 1/2 bag of SNICKERS® Brand Miniatures.

3. Prepare the cake batter according to the directions on the back of the box. Fold the chopped SNICKERS® Brand Miniatures into the batter, and then pour it into 10 paper-lined cupcake molds. Bake for approximately 20 minutes.

4. Remove from oven and cool completely. Tint frosting with the green food coloring. Spread over the tops of the cupcakes and then cover with M&M'S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies for the Holidays.

5. Once decorated, place the cupcakes on a table or tray to look like a tree. Start by lining up 4 cupcakes along the bottom of the tray. Decrease each line by one cupcake, going up until there's only one cupcake at the top.

6. Place the TWIX® Brand Cookie Bar Miniatures at the bottom of the tree to create its trunk. Scatter the remaining 3 MUSKETEERS® Brand, SNICKERS® Brand and TWIX® Brand Miniatures around the base, just like presents.
