Step 1
Prepare cake batter and bake as directed on package for 24 cupcakes, blending dry pudding mix into batter before spooning into paper-lined pans. Cool completely. Step 2
Beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla and food colouring in medium bowl with mixer until well blended. Gradually add sugar, beating well after each addition. Step 3
Arrange cupcakes on large platter or tray to resemble a monster's head; spread with cream cheese frosting. Use decorating gel to outline the eyes, mouth, scars and hairline on the cupcakes. Fill in the hair with cookie crumbs. Place 1 marshmallow half in centre of each eye; place remaining marshmallow halves in mouth for teeth. Keep refrigerated. Kraft Kitchen Tips!
