Pour the melted marshmallow mixture into the rice krispies and stir together using a large spatula until the cereal is completely coated, add some sprinkle to the mixture and stir through.

6

Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tins and press down to with the back of a spoon to pack them down - if the mixture becomes too sticky to work with then wet your hands and shake down and then use your damp hands to pat the mixture into the tins.

7

Chill in the fridge until set – 30 minutes to an hour.

To Decorate

Gently remove the cupcakes from the tins. Divide the buttercream between 4 bowls and add a few drops of Food Colour Gel to each bowl, mix the the colour gel into the buttercream.

Place a stripe of each colour buttercream up a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle so each quarter of the piping bag is a different colour. Pipe a swirl of buttercream on the top of each cupcake.

Finish with a Chocolate Star and some Unicorn Confetti Sprinkles! These cupcakes are best consumed on the day you prepare them.
