Buried Treasure Cupcakes

Buried Treasure Cupcakes  
 
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.
