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.
