Instructions

To make them, frost a batch of cooled cupcakes (baked from your favorite recipe) with colorful frosting.
Decorate with festive icing and candies (we used red and green M&Ms Minis), then top each one with a miniature Reeses Peanut Butter Cup and a pretzel piece for an ornament hanger. Don’t forget to save one for Santa.

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the cookie sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
2. Cut approximately 30 1/4-inch slices of cookie dough. Place them on the cookie sheets. Slip a colored craft stick’s 2-inch tip underneath each cookie. At the top of each cookie and directly on the opposite side of the craft stick make a small dimple in the dough.
3. Bake the cookies for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
4. Tint a quarter cup of frosting with the green food coloring. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag, snip a small corner, and set aside.
5. Tint the remaining frosting with the orange food coloring. Spread it on the cookie tops. Use the green frosting to pipe the pumpkin stems around the dimples. Use M&M’S® Brand Chocolate Candies to decorate the cookies like Jack-O-Lanterns.

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the cupcake pans with the paper cupcake liners.
2. Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
3. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
4. Spoon 1/4 cup of vanilla frosting into a resealable plastic bag; set aside. Tint the remaining frosting green.
5. Spread the cupcakes’ tops with the green frosting.
6. On each cupcake, place 2 green M&M’S® close together as eyes. Snip a small corner of the resealable plastic bag, and use the vanilla frosting to pipe dots on the green M&M’S® Brand Chocolate Candies. Attach 2 brown M&M’S® Brand MINIS® Chocolate Candies as pupils. On the back, attach green M&M’S® Brand Chocolate Candies as warts, and then pipe a red mouth with the decorating icing.

1. Over medium heat, bring sugar, butter, evaporated milk, marshmallow fluff and salt to a full boil in a large heavy-bottom saucepan. Once it reaches a boil, continue cooking and stirring for 5 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and add DOVE® Chocolate and stir until smooth. Pour into a foil-lined and greased pan. Refrigerate until set; at least 1 hour or overnight.
3. Divide vanilla frosting between 3 bowls, tint yellow, blue and red. Spoon frostings into three separate resealable plastic bags. Snip small corners and set aside.
4. Using cookie cutters, press out shapes from fudge. Insert wooden skewers into the sides of the flowers. Pipe frosting around flowers and decorate with M&M’S® Brand Chocolate Candies and M&M’S® Brand MINIS®. Insert skewers into an oasis filled window box or flowerpots.
