- 1 strip rainbow-berry flavor sweet-sour chewy licorice
- 2 large peppermint candies

Directions
- Heat oven to 325°F. Grease 9-inch square pan with shortening; coat with flour (do not use cooking spray).
- Lightly grease 1 muffin cup in mini muffin pan and 1 muffin cup in regular-size muffin pan
- .
- Make cake batter as directed on box. Pour cake batter into 1 mini muffin cup, and 1 regular-size muffin cup, filling two-thirds full.
- Pour remaining batter into square pan.
- Bake cupcakes 11 to 14 minutes, square 47 to 53 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool 10 minutes.
- Remove cakes from muffin cups and pan; place rounded sides up on cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour. If necessary, cut off rounded tops of cakes.
- Meanwhile, reserve 1/2 cup of the white frosting in small bowl and 1/4 cup of the chocolate frosting in another small bowl.
- Place square cake layer, rounded side down, on serving plate. Frost with remaining chocolate frosting.
- Place regular cupcake, rounded side down, on cake.
- Place chocolate sugar wafers on their side around the cupcake, using reserved chocolate frosting to hold them in place around the cupcake, to form the chimney.
- Stack wafers, cutting as necessary to look like bricks, to make 2 layers of cookies on 4 sides of the cupcake.
- Cut mini cupcake in half at an angle.
- In small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the reserved white frosting with red gel food color as desired to get deep red color.
- Place cupcake at an angle at top of chimney, and frost with red frosting. Sprinkle with red sugar.
- Press cut miniature marshmallows against bottom of red frosted cupcake. This is Santa\'s behind.
- Microwave chewy chocolate candies on High 3 to 8 seconds, just until moldable. Firmly press on ends of red licorice sticks, and shape into boots.
- Press licorice ends into chimney cupcake to make Santa’s legs.
- Spoon remaining reserved frosting into resealable food-storage plastic bag. Cut tiny tip from 1 corner of bag, and pipe white frosting and snow on chimney, and fur around tops of boots.
- Generously spread and mound remaining fluffy white frosting to look like snow drifts over cake, coming up against the chimney in mounds.
- 1To make Santa’s bag, wrap marshmallow with red fruit snack, pinching up at one end to form bag shape.
- Using paring knife, cut green strip out of rainbow-berry flavor sweet-sour chewy licorice. Wrap green candy strip around top of Santa’s bag, and gently tie it onto the bag.
- Sprinkle cake with powdered sugar and then with coarse sugar to look like freshly fallen snow. Store loosely covered.
ENJOY!
