Instructions:
-
Prepare the Workspace:
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper to prevent sticking.
-
Melt the Chocolate:
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips according to the package instructions until smooth.

Create Cat Tails:
- Dip pretzel loops into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.

- Sprinkle Jimmies over the chocolate-coated pretzels.
- Refrigerate until the tails are set and firm.
-
Prepare Frosting:
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of vanilla frosting into a small zip-top bag and set aside.
- Tint the remaining frosting with green food coloring to create a grass-green color.
-
Frost the Cupcakes:
- Frost the tops of the cupcakes with the green frosting using a spatula or piping bag.
-
Assemble the Cats:
- Insert a pretzel loop tail into the frosting at the top right of each cupcake, allowing part of the tail to extend over the side.
- Reserve 1 teaspoon of chocolate frosting for later use.
- Spoon the remaining chocolate frosting into a small zip-top bag, snip off a small corner, and pipe the cat’s body (like a large “C”) and legs onto the cupcakes.
- Press the pointed end of a chocolate Kiss into the frosting to create the cat’s head.
- Use the reserved vanilla frosting in the zip-top bag to pipe whiskers onto each cat.
- Pipe eyes using yellow icing.
- Use a toothpick dipped in reserved chocolate frosting to draw the cat’s ears on each cupcake.
