# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 165°C. Line a 24-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, milk, eggs, and oil. Stir until smooth and homogeneous. Fold in the sprinkles gently to distribute evenly.
03 -
Spoon the batter evenly into each paper liner, filling them about two-thirds full.
04 -
Bake in the centre of the oven for 20–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre emerges mostly clean.
05 -
Remove cupcakes from pan and transfer to a wire rack. Allow to cool completely before decorating.
06 -
Fit a piping bag with a 1M tip and fill with dark chocolate frosting. Pipe a generous swirl onto each cooled cupcake.
07 -
Insert short lollipop sticks into marshmallow eyeballs. Press two eyes into the top of each frosted cupcake.
08 -
Sprinkle extra colorful sprinkles around the rim of each cupcake for added color.
# Extra Information:
01 -
Incorporate the sprinkles gently to maintain even distribution and prevent color bleeding.
02 -
For an intense dark frosting, use black cocoa powder if available.
03 -
Add marshmallow eyeballs just before serving to preserve their soft texture.
04 -
If gummy or marshmallow eyes are unavailable, substitute large candy eyes or cut marshmallows.
