How to Make Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Cupcakes

Name: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Cupcakes
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 50 min
Yield: 1 dozen
Ingredients: For Cupcakes:; 1 cup sugar; 1/2 cup butter, softened; 2 eggs; 2 tsp vanilla; 1 1/2 cups of flour; 2 tsp baking powder; 1/2 cup milk; For the frosting:; 1/3 cup butter, softened; 3/4 cup cocoa; 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar; 1/4 cup milk; 1 tsp vanilla; 24 pretzel twists; 12 red M&Ms; 24 candy eyes

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy and then add in your eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix together your dry ingredients.Add dry ingredients slowly to wet, mixing between each addition. Stir in milk. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full, and bake for 20-25 minutes.

After your cupcakes are cooled off, it’s time to frost them! The best part!

In a large bowl, mix butter, cocoa, milk, and vanilla. Add powdered sugar and mix well. If frosting is too dry, add a tablespoon or two of milk and mix. If it is too runny, add a small amount of powdered sugar. Repeat either of these until you reach the desired consistency for your frosting. To make your reindeer face, use two pretzel twists for antlers, candy eyes, and red M&Ms for the nose.
