EASY SPICED CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES
When you want an Easter treat that tastes as good as it looks-and really looks good-make these surprisingly easy carrot cake cupcakes. The secret to their ease is using Betty Crocker™ yellow cake mix as the shortcut base for your batter. Extra spices and carrots are stirred in for an extra flavorful and moist result-like a classic carrot cake in a smaller format. Let yourself get into the springtime spirit as you decorate with Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy cream cheese frosting, Great Value™ assorted sprinkles and sugars, followed by crushed chocolate cookie "dirt," and decorative cupcake toppers.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place foil or paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
- In large bowl, beat cake mix, oil, water, eggs, cinnamon and nutmeg with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in carrots. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about two-thirds full).
- Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes, then remove from pan to cooling racks; cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Frost cupcake with 1 generous tablespoon frosting. Using photo as a guide, immediately roll edges of frosting in sprinkles and top with crushed chocolate cookies. Repeat with remaining cupcakes. Insert topper in center of each cupcake.
- Store loosely covered at room temperature.
