  • Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box

  • 6 cups (1.5 L) icing sugar
  • 2/3 cup (150 mL) butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) vanilla
  • 3 to 4 tbsp (45 to 60 mL) milk
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) orange paste food colour

  • 2
    In large bowl, mix icing sugar and butter with spoon or electric mixer on low speed. Stir in vanilla and 3 tablespoons of the milk. Gradually beat in just enough remaining milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable. If frosting is too thick, beat in more milk, a few drops at a time. If frosting becomes too thin, beat in a small amount of powdered sugar. Tint frosting with orange paste food colour. Place 1/2 cup frosting in small resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and set aside. Frost cupcakes with remaining orange frosting.

    Place 1 cookie, striped side down, on each cupcake. In microwavable bowl, microwave candy melts on Medium (50%) 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Dip snacks in melted candy; place upright in centre of each cookie. Immediately decorate with candy sprinkles.

    Cut off tiny corner (about 1/8 inch) of bag of frosting. Pipe frosting around base of chocolate-dipped Bugles* snacks to resemble ribbon band.
