Ingredients

  • 1 (16 oz.) box Pillsbury sugar free moist yellow cake
  • 12 oz. Sprite Zero or Diet 7UP
  • 1/2 cup Lucky Charms marshmallows (chopped into small pieces)
  • 8 oz. reduced fat cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup Lucky Charms cereal (without marshmallows)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place cupcake liners in a cupcake pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the cake mix and Sprite Zero. Use a handheld mixer and mix on low for 2 minutes. After that, stir in the chopped marshmallows.
  • Fill each cupcake liner halfway with the cupcake batter. Bake the cupcakes 19-23 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool completely before decorating them.
  • Add the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl and use a handheld mixer to combine.
  • Add the cereal portion of the Lucky Charms to a zip-up bag. Use a meat mallet to break it up. You want it to be a crumb like consistency.
  • Spread the cream cheese frosting over each cupcake. Top the cream cheese frosting with the cereal crumbs. I also added a couple of marshmallows to each cupcake.
