CREATIVE MARTIAN CUPCAKES

Ingredients:
Your favorite Cupcakes - baked and ready to decorate
Vanilla Frosting
Chow Mein Noodles
Stick Pretzels
Mini Marshmallows
Food Coloring
M&M's
Colored Jimmies

Directions:
Bake your favorite cupcakes. Let cool. Transfer 1 can of vanilla frosting into a microwavable bowl. Mix the color you would like for your martian friend. Follow instructions on back of food coloring box to mix colors.  Once mixed to your liking, place bowl with frosting into microwave and heat for 30 seconds; stirring frequently. You'll want the frosting to be melted enough to dip the cupcake into. Stick chow mein noodles into cupcake. Dip the cupcake and noodles into the melted frosting. Hold upside down so the excess frosting can drip off. Place on cookie sheet. Repeat with other cupcakes.  Once done, place in freezer to chill for about 5-10 minutes.  Take out and finishing decorating.  Take 2 pretzel sticks, place mini-marshmallow on top of each pretzel, press down..then with touch of frosting place on one end of marshmallow and then stick on m&m. Around the m&m place your candy eyelashes with candied jimmies, then stick in the middle of the cupcake for the eyes; repeat for other cupcakes.  Let cool in refrigerator before serving so all the frosting hardens a bit!  Enjoy....the Meals in a Rush way!
