Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line pans with cupcake liners.
2. Sift cake mix into a small bowl and set aside.
3. In a large bowl combine eggs, oil, crushed pineapple, sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Stir in cake mix, then once combined fold in Fruity Pebbles.
5. Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full and bake for 15-22 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
6. Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla extract and slowly add powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency.
7. Pipe onto cooled cupcakes and top with Fruity Pebbles.

Note: Frost and top with cereal the day of serving, or else the cereal will absorb moisture from the frosting and get soft.
