1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® yellow cake mix
1 cup water
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 eggs
1 container Betty Crocker® Whipped chocolate frosting
1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup honey-flavor dry-roasted peanuts, chopped
48 teddy bear-shaped graham snacks
24 birthday candles
  1. Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Line 24 muffin cups with paper baking cups.
  2. In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, peanut butter and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
  3. Bake 13 to 18 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and tops spring back when touched lightly in center. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  4. Reserve 1/4 cup of the frosting. Spread remaining frosting over tops of cupcakes. Sprinkle each cupcake with 1/2 teaspoon each chocolate chips and peanuts; press gently into frosting.
  5. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon reserved frosting on flat sides of 2 graham snacks. Place candle between frosted sides of graham snacks; press gently together. Repeat with remaining snacks, frosting and candles. Place on cupcakes, pressing candles slightly into cupcakes to hold in place.
Make the Most of This Recipe
Substitution
Instead of the teddy bear-shaped graham snacks, you can also use frosted animal crackers.
Variation
Vary the look of these cute cupcakes by experimenting with different flavors of frosting. Instead of the chocolate chips and peanuts, try any of the small Betty Crocker® candy decorations sold with Betty Crocker® decorating icings in your supermarket.
Special Touch
A collection of teddy bears on the center of the table and plates and cups with a teddy bear theme create the perfect setting for a teddy bear birthday celebration.
