Notes
Cupcakes can be baked in advance but I like to frost and decorate closer to serving time. Store leftovers in an airtight plastic container.
This recipe makes 12 larger cupcakes but you could do more depending on your cake mix and how much you fill the cupcake tins.
If you cannot find green frosting just add a few drops of green food coloring to a container of white frosting. Stir then add a few more drops and stir again until you get your desired green color.
Wrapped gold peanut butter cups can be used in place of the rolos.
Feel free to use already baked cupcakes or muffins bought from your local grocery store to make this recipe even easier.
