Strawberry Jell-O Poke Cupcakes
1 box White Cake Mix, plus eggs, water and oil
1 cup boiling water
1 pkg. (3 oz.) Strawberry Flavored Jell-O
1/2 cup cold water
Place 24 cupcake liners in a muffin tin. Prepare cake as directed on package. Fill liners 2/3 full and bake for 15-18 minutes. Cool completely. Take a fork or bamboo skewer (that's what I used) and poke about 6 six holes in each cupcake. Prepare Jell-O as directed above. Place the cupcakes on a pan with an edge because some of the Jell-O will overflow. Now here's the tricky part. Instead of spooning the Jell-O over each cupcake, I put it into a squeeze bottle and squeezed some Jell-O into each hole. You will still have some overflow, but I don't think it was quite as bad as just pouring it from a cup would have been. Now place the cupcakes in the fridge for a few hours to chill.
Frosting:
1 small pkg.Vanilla instant pudding
1 cup milk (I used 2%)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
8 oz. container Cool Whip
Whisk instant vanilla pudding, milk and vanilla until smooth. Fold in Cool Whip. I placed the prepared frosting in the fridge for about 30 minutes to let it thicken up before I place it into a piping bag to frost the cupcakes.
Frost as desired. I used a Wilton 1M tip when frosting these cupcakes.
