Author Sara Phillips

Ingredients

Cake:

  • 1 box Red Velvet Cake Mix
  • 1 stick butter melted (I used unsalted)
  • 1 egg

Frosting:

  • 2 boxes 16 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 2 sticks butter soft
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp. vanilla

Misc:

  • M&M’s® Red Velvet

Instructions

Cupckaes:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
  2. Mix the red velvet cake mix, melted butter and egg together until everything is incorporated. It will be very thick.
  3. Drop liners in a cupcake pan.
  4. Fill each liner 2/3 full. (I was only able to get 11 cupcakes out of my batter.)
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool for several hours.

Frosting:

  1. Blend cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla together until smooth.
  2. Pour it into a gallon-sized zipper bag.
  3. Cut about 1/4 inch off the bottom corner.

JarCakes (The fun part!):

  1. Remove the liners from your cupcakes and cut each cake in half (horizontally).
  2. Place the bottom of the cupcake in the bottom of your jar.
  3. Put a nice layer of frosting on the cake.
  4. Drop in 4-6 M&M’s® Red Velvet.
  5. Put the top of the cupcake on top of your M&M’s®.
  6. Add in another layer of frosting and more M&M’s®.
  7. Repeat until the jar is 3/4 full.
  8. Serve and ENJOY!
