  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 packages Ghiradelli milk chocolate melting wafers
  • 1 container chocolate frosting
  • 1 package Wilton Rudolph reindeer treats
  • 15 red M&M’s

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Following the back of the cake box directions, prepare cupcakes as directed.
  • Fill cupcake liners 3/4 of the way and bake for 21 minutes.
  • Once baked, place onto a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the cupcakes from the cupcake pan and continue to cool until completely cool.
  • Using a large bowl, remove cupcake liners and place cupcakes into the bowl, about 5 cupcakes at a time.
  • Using your hands, crumb up the cupcakes into fine crumbs.
  • Mix in 1 1/2 spoonfuls of frosting until combined.
  • Your cupcake mixture should resemble cookie dough texture.
  • Using a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, scoop the mixture into your hands and roll it into a ball.
  • Using 1 package of Ghiradelli chocolate, pair up 2 wafers with each cake ball for the ears.
  • Place a wafer into each corner of the cake balls where the ears would go.
  • Repeat the steps with the remaining cupcakes and chocolate wafers.
  • Place onto a cookie sheet fitted with parchment paper.
  • Once done, place it into the freezer overnight.
  • Using a double boiler, melt the second bag of milk chocolate wafers.
  • Once the chocolate is melted, take the cake balls out of the freezer.
  • Carefully peel a cake ball off the parchment paper.
  • Carefully dip the whole cake ball into the chocolate.
  • Very lightly shake off excess chocolate and then place it back onto the cookie sheet.
  • Place two antlers into the top part of the head on the corner of the ears.
  • Carefully place a red M&M into the center of the cake ball for the nose.
  • Let dry for 30 minutes before enjoying!
