Mindy's Super Easy Cheat Cupcakes...
buy a chocolate cake mix and use that as your base
*use applesauce instead of oil- its healthier and makes the cupcake moister, and use milk instead of water.
*you can also make store boughten frosting- make it fluffy and yummier by simply taking it out of the jar and beating it with your mixer for a few minutes. it almost doubles how much frosting you get out of a jar of frosting...
* you can always add a good dash of vanilla/ cinnamon to make it a bit sweeter...
make up the mix then do whichever alteration you want:
1.) choco-orange: use OJ instead of water or milk with the mix and after frosting put a mandarin orange slice on top
2.) chocolate mint: get some Andes mints and either put one whole one in each cup afterfilling them with the mix and push it down a bit so its in the middle or chop up a bunch and stir into the mix- then frost when cool and add an Andes mint on top.
3.) buy a bottle of marchino cherrys and drain the cherry juice out- use that instead of the water or milk. then put a cherry on top once frosted!
