Ingredients
1
box (1 lb 2.25-oz) yellow cake mix with pudding in the mix
1 1/4
cups water
1/3
cup vegetable oil
3
eggs
8
scoops vanilla ice cream (about 1/4 cup each)
16
miniature creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookies
Small candies
32
small pretzel sticks
Preparation
Heat oven to 350°F. Line 24 muffin cups with paper baking cups. Prepare cupcakes as directed on box using water, oil and eggs. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full.
Bake 21 to 26 minutes or until cupcakes spring back when touched lightly in center. Remove from pans. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Reserve 8 cupcakes. (Wrap and freeze remaining cupcakes for later use.)
On cookie sheet, decorate each ice cream scoop to resemble a mouse, using 2 cookies for ears, and small candies and pretzels for facial features and whiskers. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and freeze. When ready to serve, place cupcakes on 8 dessert plates. Top each cupcake with decorated ice cream.
