Watermelon Cupcakes #BiteIntoSummer

Nothing says summer like a big juicy watermelon! And cupcakes. So…how about we just combine the two and make watermelon cupcakes?! Betty Crocker now has the all-new Watermelon Cake & Frosting – available only at Target! Nothing fancy…just follow the directions on the cake mix. The mix even has tiny chocolate chips in it…to resemble watermelon seeds! How cute is that?!

I made them this past weekend, and let me tell you…if you love watermelon flavor, then these are for you!! I made this batch and they were a big hit with my little man. He just thought they were the best things ever. I topped them with jelly beans, just for some extra fun since we had some on hand!

The cupcake mix is really yummy. The next time I make these, I plan to add a tub of whipped topping to the frosting just to lighten it up a bit. The frosting has MEGA watermelon flavor, so if you really love watermelon..you’ll enjoy it! I do love watermelon, but I’m not one for very sweet frostings so adding the whipped topping would make it perfect for me.
