Buried Treasure
Cupcakes
1 box yellow cake mix
24 square miniature candies,
unwrapped (I used Kit Kats)
½ cup butter, softened
3 ½ cups
confectioners' sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
extract
½ cup graham cracker crumbs
red licorice straws
Prepare the
cake batter per package instructions. Line 24 cupcake tins with paper liners and
fill each ¾ full with batter. Dunk a candy in each cupcake. Bake per package
instructions. Cool completely.
Beat the butter with a mixer, adding a
half cup of sugar and tablespoon of milk at a time until completely incorporated
and desired consistency. Beat in the vanilla.
Frost the cupcakes and top
each with a teaspoon of graham cracker crumbs. Cut the licorice into 48 one inch
pieces, use two pieces per cupcake to create a red "X" to mark the spot.
