MINI CUPCAKES BOX RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Line two 12-cup cupcake pans with cupcake liners.
• Prepare batter according to package instructions. Divide batter between cupcake liners and bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely. 
• Meanwhile, make frosting: In a large bowl, beat together butter, cream cheese, and ricotta until fluffy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt and beat until smooth and fluffy. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
• Transfer frosting to a large pastry bag (or resealable plastic bag) cut with a large tip. Using a teaspoon, scoop out middle of each cupcake to create a small well. Pipe frosting onto each cupcake, filling the wells.
• Using 50 percent power and working in 30-second increments, microwave chocolate chips and coconut oil until just melted. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly. Spoon melted chocolate on top of frosting.
• Let chocolate set slightly before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or nonstick pans). Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 24 cupcakes. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Using melon baller or spoon, scoop out center of each cupcake, about 1 inch deep.
• In small bowl, mix 3/4 cup fluffy white frosting and marshmallow creme. Spoon frosting into corner of resealable heavy-duty food-storage plastic bag. Cut about 3/8 inch off corner of bag. Gently squeeze about 1 tablespoon frosting into center of each cupcake for filling.
