Directions

Step 1
Kids: Place cupcake liners in muffin tins.

Step 3
Kids: Divide batter into cupcake liners, filling them about 2/3 full.
Step 4
Adults: Bake according to package directions. They’re done when a toothpick stuck in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool at least 30 minutes before decorating.
Step 5
Kids: Ice cupcakes. Create butterfly wings with pretzels. Add a body and head with chocolate candies. Finish with licorice antennae! Store leftovers in an airtight container.
