Ice Cream Cupcakes

These are ADORABLE and SO EASY! I made a test batch this weekend before I make them for Teacher Appreciation Week at the beginning of May. I actually think they were easier to make than regular cupcakes because I didn't have to make the frosting look perfect!


Ice Cream Cupcakes
1 batch of 24 cupcakes (from your favorite recipe/box)
1 frosting recipe (below)
chocolate almond bark
sprinkles
red gumballs or red sour balls

Frosting Recipe: 
2 sticks butter, softened 
4 cups powdered sugar 
2 tsp. vanilla 
2 Tbl. milk

Blend butter, milk, and vanilla until fluffy. Slowly add powdered sugar and beat for 1-2 mins. Chill for 1 hour. Scoop with a small cookie scoop and place on cupcakes. It looks just like ice cream!

Melt almond bark (about 1/2 a pkg.) Spoon over cupcakes. Sprinkle and add red gumball.


****I took the paper liners off my cupcakes and put them in small clear plastic cups. This seemed to work better when eating!
