Football Cupcake Pull-Aparts

Ingredients

  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Devil's Food Cake Mix
  • Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
  • 2 tubs (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Chocolate Frosting
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup M&M's® Candy-Coated Milk Chocolate Candies
  • 1 can (8.4 oz) Betty Crocker™ White Cupcake Icing

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
  2. Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 24 cupcakes. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  3. In large bowl, beat frosting and powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended and smooth. Spoon frosting into decorating bag with medium star tip.
  4. Using a large serving tray or cookie sheet lined with foil, arrange 16 of the 24 cupcakes in a football shape: place 3 rows of 3 cupcakes, then add 2 cupcakes on each side and 1 cupcake at each end. Gently push the cupcakes together so they’re close and form the football shape. Remove paper baking cup from final cupcake, cut into quarters. Use the quarters to fill the remaining spaces in the center of the football shape.
  5. Pipe a thick border around the top of the football shape, then continue piping along the shape toward the center (the lines don't need to connect; this will happen when you spread the frosting). Use an icing spatula to spread the frosting, covering the cupcakes.
  6. Pipe a decorative border of frosting around edge of football. Sprinkle chocolate candies on the border. Pipe laces with white icing.
  7. Frost and decorate remaining cupcakes as desired, and serve alongside the football. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

Recipe Tips

  • Get in the team spirit! Use candy-coated chocolate candies that match your team colors.
  • If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.
  • Swap in Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix for Devil’s Food Cake in this recipe. Be sure to follow the directions on the box for the amounts of water, vegetable oil and eggs to make 22 cupcakes.
  • To help hold the cupcakes in place, if needed, use your icing spatula to dab a little frosting on bottom of each cupcake before placing on serving tray.
