  • 2 c. powdered sugar
  • 2-4 T. water
  • black food coloring
  • 1 bag candy spearmint leaves

  • Cut the mini marshmallows in half. Set aside.
  • Place the powdered sugar in another bowl and add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a thick icing forms. Add a few drops of black food coloring, mix, and set aside.
  • Put the green frosting into a piping bag and pipe on to all 24 cupcakes.
  • Place the marshmallows, cut side down, on the cupcakes in groups of 1, 2, or 3.
  • Put the black icing into a piping bag with a small tip and pipe a black dot in the center of each marshmallow to create the eyes. Then pipe on a straight line, squiggly line, or a round circle for the mouth.
  • Cut the spearmint leaves into 4 pieces for the ears. Place one on each side of the cupcake. If desired place one on the top of the cupcake as well.
  • Allow the cupcakes to sit for about an hour before placing them in a cupcake container or a bakery box.
