Notes

 
  • My favorite cake mix to use is a box betty crocker super moist but you can use any mix that you prefer.
  • Add a few drops of green food coloring to the white cake mix until you get the color that you desire.
  • Use powdered sugar, butter, milk, and vanilla extract to make a homemade frosting if you don’t have a container of betty crocker on hand.
  • If you are using an electric mixer make sure to keep it on a low speed so that you do not over mix these easy lucky charms cupcakes.
