orange fruit chews (recommended: tootsie fruit rolls, starbursts)
6
tbsp vanilla frosting
green food coloring
2
tbsp hard green candies (recommended: M and M’s, Runts)
Directions
1.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
3.
In another bowl, whisk together the vanilla extract, milk and vegetable oil.
4.
Cream together the butter and sugar with a hand-held mixer in a large bowl. Add the eggs 1 at a time and mix to combine. Alternate the dry and wet ingredients to the egg mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
5.
Pour the batter 2/3 full into the cupcake tins and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before frosting.
6.
Cut the fruit chews into 1/4-inch cubes. Add the vanilla frosting to a small bowl and add enough green food coloring until it becomes bright green color. Spread on top of the cupcakes. Arrange the green candies and orange chews on top, pressing them into the frosting. Transfer the cupcakes to the aluminum tray.
