    Prepare the cake batter according to package instructions. Spread into cupcake liners to make 24 cupcakes. Bake as instructed. Allow cupcakes to cool while making your groundhogs.
  • 2
    Start with a Cocoa Puffs™ bar. Using chocolate frosting as the glue, glue the face features to the bar to make the Groundhog -- Reese's Puffs® are the ears, the marshmallows are cut to form the eyes and the teeth, the brown M&M's® are the cheeks, the Fruit Roll Up is the nose, and the little round sprinkles are the eyeballs.

    Frost the cupcakes with the vanilla frosting. Use the Oreos on top to form a dirt mound. Insert the groundhog bar into the top center of a cupcake so it looks like he is popping out of the top.
