“Ho Ho” Cupcakes

Ingredients

Directions:

Make a boxed cake mix according to the directions on the package.  (My mom says banana is good, but I’ll take her word for it.  Why waste those calories on banana when you could have chocolate?) And nothing goes better with a chocolate cream-filled cupcake than a big glass of milk, so remember to leave one for Santa!


Instructions

Cream Filling:

  • Beat 3/4 cup white sugar and 1 cup Crisco.
  • Add 1/2 cup evaporated milk with 1½ teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1½ tablespoon water.
  • Mix well and add 3/4 cup powdered sugar.
  • Force into middle of cupcakes with a cake decorator tube.
