Christmas Wreath Cupcakes

By CJKK

Ingredients

• 12 cupcakes frosted in white icing, homemade or store bought
• 3 11 ounce bags holiday M&M’s, red candies removed and reserved for a different use
• 1 bottle red ball sprinkles
• 6 red licorice strings

Preparation

Step 1

Cut each licorice string in half and twist into a bow shape. Trim the ends and set aside.
Press the green M&M’s into two circular rows around the rim of each cupcake to form a wreath shape. Make sure the M imprints are on the back side of each candy!
Carefully sprinkle the red ball sprinkles into the gaps in the M&M wreaths. You may need to use a tooth pick to nudge them into place.
Place a licorice bow onto each cupcake, then serve. Cupcakes keep for up to 2 days covered in the refrigerator.
