Makes 24 cupcakes

Ingredients:

• 24 Chocolate Peeps Peepsters
• 1 box of funfetti cake mix, and all the ingredients called for on the box
• 24 flat-bottomed ice cream cones
• 2 containers of vanilla cake frosting
• Cupcake papers
• 24 slot muffin pan

Directions:

1. Turn your mouse to BlairCandy.com and choose your favorite Peeps Peepsters variety – either Dark Chocolate Peeps Peepsters or Milk Chocolate Peeps Peepsters. Both are delicious, and the dark chocolate variety is perfect if you have a penchant for dark chocolate!
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and place a cupcake paper in each slot on the muffin pan.
3. Following the directions on the cake mix box; prepare your cupcake batter.
4. Pour the batter in each muffin cup, so that each is about 2/3 full.
5. Carefully place an ice cream cone upside down in each muffin cup.
6. Bake about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out completely clean.
7. Allow the cones to cool completely, for about a half hour. Once cooled, carefully pick the cupcake cones up, and place on a flat tray.
8. Frost each cone with a large amount of frosting, in the shape of ice cream. Feel free to sprinkle rainbow sprinkles on the frosting for an even more realistic look!

Place a chocolate Peeps Peepsters on top of the frosting to finish this treat off, and enjoy! These create a dessertlicious taste in your mouth, and you’d better save a few off to the side for yourself, as these are gone in a flash!
