Preparation

Step 1

Drain the cherry juice into a measuring cup and add water to equal 1 cup. Pour into a mixing bowl with the cake mix, eggs, oil, and Jello. Beat on low for 1 minute, then 2 minutes on medium speed. Stir in the chopped cherries by hand. Spoon into 24 cupcake liners. Bake at 350* for 18 minutes. Let cool completely.

Beat the butter for 2-3 minutes in a mixing bowl. Add the powdered sugar a little bit at a time. Then slowly add the margarita mix. Beat for a minute or two or until creamy. Frost cupcakes. Top with extra cherries and sprinkles if desired. Store in a loosely sealed container on the counter for 2-3 days.
