However, baking an easy recipe in the middle of a crazy week or cooking dinner together allows for a few stolen moments in the middle of a chaotic schedule. When we were mixing and playing, these cupcakes started out in one direction and then became magically fun all on their own. You will see that they begin layered, change during the baking process and create their own marbleized design that’s fun and tasty!
Magically Fun Cupcakes make for an easy quick fix to add to the Leprechaun Magic for the kids in your life this year!
Magically Fun Cupcakes
1 box Price Chopper white cake mix
Green Food Coloring
1.75 oz. rainbow sprinkles
12 oz. white chocolate morsels

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the cake mix as directed. Divide the batter evenly into two bowls. Add approximately ten drops of food coloring into one bowl of batter and stir until the color has been evenly distributed. Add the rainbow sprinkles to the other batter and stir until the sprinkles have been evenly distributed.
In a lined cupcake pan, evenly distribute the green batter to create the first layer in the cupcake liner. For the second layer, add one tablespoon of white chocolate morsels on top of the green batter. And finally, evenly distribute the rainbow batter into the cupcake liners to create the top layer.
