I love homemade Christmas cookies and candies, but sometimes you need a fun treat you can make quickly and easily.

I have just the thing–these Santa hat cupcakes! You can use a boxed cake mix, or to make things super simple, buy pre-made cupcakes. The kids will enjoy helping too.

All you do is frost your cupcakes with white frosting and “paint” sugar cones with red food coloring. (You can pick up this red Wilton Color Mist Food Color Spray online.)

Then just use a mini marshmallow for the top of the hat, and set the hat on your frosted cupcakes. It couldn’t be any easier!
