Cake bites are out, cake *CUPS* are in 💃🎄 This is Day 2 of our Little Debbie holiday series and I can't get over how cute these are!! 🥹 ✨ WHAT YOU NEED: ✔️ 1 Box of cake mix + listed ingredients ✔️ ½ can of canilla frosting ✔️ 2 packages almond bark (you probably won't use all of it but good to have extra!). ✔️ Red food coloring ✔️ Green sanding sugar sprinkles TO MAKE: Mix the cooled cake with the frosting until it's combined and smooth. Add about 1 teaspoon of melted almond bark to each mini cupcake liner, let harden (can speed up in the fridge), then add a 1-tablespoon sized ball of cake dough into each cup. Press down to flatten the dough, then top with more almond bark. Use a piping bag to pipe the red stripes, then immediately add the sprinkles. Let harden and enjoy! #cakepops #littledebbie #holidaybaking #christmastok #christmascountdown #christmascandy #cakebites #christmastreecakes

The cutting hack at the end, tho 👀🤯🎄These are based off my viral cosmic brownies but are a mini Christmas version! Instead of cutting them into 4 sections like the recipe says, cut into 6 to get minis for your holiday platters! #cosmicbrownies #christmasbrownies #littledebbie #holidaybaking #christmastok #christmascountdown
