Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz.) lemon cake mix
- 6 chocolate cream-filled sandwich cookies, crumbled
- 1 can (16 oz.) vanilla frosting
- Green, yellow and red food coloring

- Heat oven to 350°F. Line 24 regular muffin cups with paper liners. Mix and bake cake mix as directed for cupcakes, using water, oil and egg; cool completely, as directed.
- Meanwhile, place cookies in food processor. Cover and process 30 seconds or until fine crumbs form.
- Spoon 1/4 cup of the frosting in a small bowl; tint it orange with a drop or 2 of red and yellow food coloring. Tint the remaining frosting green with green food coloring.
