Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix according to the package instructions, mixing until smooth. Distribute the batter evenly into cupcake liners and bake for 18-20 minutes. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  2. Once the cupcakes are cool, grab your frosting. Using a spatula or piping bag, frost the tops of each cupcake generously.
  3. Cut the Circus Peanut candies in half lengthwise and place the beveled side up on each frosted cupcake to form bunny feet.
  4. Using the black frosting, pipe small dots on the cut sides of the Circus Peanuts to resemble bunny paw pads.
  5. Pipe a small round dot of pink frosting opposite the bunny feet on each cupcake for bunny tails.
  6. Using green frosting, create a grassy border around the base of each cupcake. Scatter jelly beans throughout the green frosting.
  7. Arrange the cupcakes on a platter, creating a festive display before serving.
