PEEPS® Pumpkin Caramel Corn Cupcakes
For the ultimate fall seasonal treat make our PEEPS® Pumpkin Caramel Corn Cupcakes—pumpkin spice cupcakes frosted with caramel cream cheese frosting and decorated with caramel popcorn and PEEPS® Brand Marshmallow Halloween characters!
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place paper liners in 24 muffin cups.
Blend cake mix, pumpkin, water, eggs, oil and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened, about 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Divide batter evenly into muffin cups.
Bake 16 to 19 minutes, until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire rack 15 minutes, remove from pans and cool completely.
Blend frosting and 1/3-cup caramel dip in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until combined. Refrigerate 15 minutes to firm up. Frost cooled cupcakes with caramel cream cheese frosting.
Place a toothpick in the bottom of each Halloween PEEPS® marshmallow, leaving about an inch coming out the bottom of the PEEPS®. Whisk 1 tablespoon water into remaining 1/3-cup caramel dip.
Decorate top of each pumpkin caramel corn cupcake with caramel corn. Drizzle caramel over and place a PEEPS® Marshmallow Pumpkin or Monster in the center of each pumpkin cupcake.
