Ingredients

Servings

Cupcakes:

  • 1 white cake mix 15.25 oz, Pillsbury brand
  • 4 large egg white
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 cherry jello small box
  • 1/2 cup water

Decorations:

  • 1 vanilla frosting Pillsbury, tub
  • 8 licorice twists Twizzler Cherry Pull-n-Peel
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate or white almond bark
  • sugar sprinkles blue

Instructions

  1. Mix the cake mix, eggs, oil, Jello and water together with a mixer until well blended, about 2-3 minutes. Put 24 cupcake liners in a cupcake tin and fill the cupcake liners 2/3 full with batter. Bake at 325 degrees for 17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow the cupcakes to cool and then frost them. We made large stars with Wilton tip 2D to decorate the tops. You can also just spread frosting on with a knife.
  3. Cut each Twizzler Pull-n-Peel licorice twist into 3 pieces, about 3 inches each. Peel down each string of Twizzler to about 1/3 of the way down.
  4. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the vanilla Candiquik according to the package directions. Dip the separated ends in the melted vanilla Candiquik. Dip the coated ends in blue sprinkles. Lastly, separate all of the Twizzler ropes so they fan out like a firecracker. Push a Twizzler firecracker down into the center of each cupcake.
  5. For best results, serve the same day as you make them.
