Directions

Mix cupcakes as directed on the back of the box and bake as directed.

Allow cupcakes to cool completely.

Boil 1 cup water and add jello, stir until completely dissolved.

Poke holes in cupcakes with fork or toothpick. Don’t be afraid to pick right down in there several times. You want plenty of holes for the jell-o to seep into.

Using a spoon, pour strawberry gelatin mixture over cupcake.

Now they need to go into the fridge for about 2-3 hours to set.

Once set, frost cupcakes using whipped frosting.

And if you like, top it off with fresh, sliced strawberries and enjoy!

Cook’s Note: You can use any combination of cake mix or Jell-o flavor you like with these. You can use a vanilla or yellow cake mix. Orange Jell-o works well with these. Also, for 4th of July celebrations, it might be fun to use a Berry Blue Jell-o as well.
