How to Make Christmas Snowman Cupcakes
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Prepare your favorite vanilla cupcake batter (or use a box mix) according to package instructions. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely in the muffin tin before frosting.
- Once cooled, frost each cupcake with white buttercream frosting. Make sure to use enough to create a nice, round snowman shape.
- For the snowman's eyes, use two mini chocolate chips or small pieces of dark chocolate.
- Use a small orange candy melt or a piece of carrot to create the snowman's nose.
- Attach three giant chocolate buttons to the bottom of the snowman for buttons.
- Stick a Rolo candy onto the top of each cupcake for the snowman's top hat.
- Break a Matchmaker in half and place it on the top of the Rolo to mimic a hatband.
- Decorate with festive sprinkles, if desired.
