Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix or your favorite homemade cake recipe
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips

- Red and green food coloring
Instructions
- Make batter for cupcakes according to package directions. Add red food coloring until desired shade of pink is achieved.

- Add green food coloring to white frosting. Spread the green frosting on the cooled cupcakes.
- Sprinkle with a few mini chocolate chips and that’s it. Here's what they look like inside.
Notes
Hint: I used a yellow cake mix and found that I did not need the yellow food coloring to offset the red. Fold in 1⁄2 - 3⁄4 cup mini chocolate chips.
