Semi-Homemade Mini Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

Do you have pumpkin spice overload yet? I sure don't! Pumpkin spice has become synonymous with fall….and I love it!

From candles to drinks, we are sure to get the scent, taste and feel of the season. I personally love the smell! 

I made these cupcakes one weekend when the kids were home from college, and they were a big hit. I made them the very next weekend for an adult Halloween party. This time I made them as mini-cupcakes.

Ingredients

1. 1 box of spiced cake mix
2. 1 can of pumpkin puree
3. 3 large eggs
4. 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
5. 2 cans of cream cheese frosting
6. 1 container of gold sprinkles
7. mini cupcake liners

Instructions

1. Follow the directions on the back of the Duncan Hines box. You will omit the water and in its place add the can of pumpkin puree. Everything else stays the same.
2. I made 36 mini cupcakes.
3. Keep an eye on them, but I baked mine for 16 minutes at 325 degrees. Use a cake tester to check doneness.
4. Cool the cupcakes when done.
5. Insert the frosting into the cake decorator if desired. You can just spread as normal.
6. Sprinkle with metallic gold sprinkles!

Notes

1. Be warned! You can't eat just one!!

Here are your ingredients plus the vegetable oil and the eggs. Super simple!

You will follow the instructions on the back of the box including ingredients with one exception.

In place of the water, you will add 1 can of pure pumpkin puree.

I made mini cupcakes for a Halloween party. You could easily do a cake or regular sized cupcakes. It made 36 mini cupcakes.

My favorite way to icing cupcakes these days is with this pampered Chef decorator. It is so easy and makes them look a bit fancier. I used 2 cans of cream cheese frosting.

These metallic gold sprinkles from Walmart make them look so pretty and elegant. The gold feels like fall!
