I think I love little googly eye creatures (case in point=my hooded towels) so when I saw these little googly eyes that are edible, I knew I needed to make something with them. The idea is simple and easy to do. It’s cute little Reindeer Cupcakes:
I made mine mini sized because I thought it was cuter that way, but you could also do full size. Either way works.
Reindeer Cupcakes Recipe:
Ingredients Needed:
- Devils Food Cake Mix
- 1 large package of instant chocolate pudding
- 1 C sour cream
- 1 C oil
- 1/2 water
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- 4 eggs
- Googly eyes-can be found in the baking section of stores. I’ve seen them at Target and at Kroger stores. I am sure more stores have them too.
- Red M&Ms
- Pretzels
Mix the cake mix with all of the ingredients through the eggs. Place in cupcake tins that are lined with cupcake liners. If you make large cupcakes it should make about 24. If you make mini ones, fill them about half full and it should make around 75 give or take a little.
Bake at 350 degrees. For large cupcakes bake for about 18 minutes, for the smaller ones about 8-10 minutes.
Let them cool them frost with chocolate frosting.
Add googly eyes and nose.
To make the antlers, just break off a piece of pretzel and stick it down in a little bit.
And have fun taking these to a holiday party. The kids will go nuts! (I know because my boys went nuts.)
Now if I were a young mother with kiddies in school, I would definitely be sending these to the classroom Christmas party! So cute!
I’m making these for my daughters kindergarten class. They are going to love them! SO cute :)
These are adorable, Amber! These would be so fun for kids to make for their classes in school!
I would love for you to link it up at my Christmas Themed link party here: http://www.raisingmemories.com/2013/12/december-2013-sharing-time-week-in.html
Have a wonderful Christmas!
