Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Prepared Cupcakes (I used white cake with green liners)
  • 1 Can White Frosting
  • Green Candy Shreds or Green Jimmies
  • 1 ½ Cups Shredded Coconut
  • 10-12 Dum Dum Suckers
  • Food Coloring (Pink, Blue, Purple, Orange, Yellow, Green)

Instructions
 

  • Place about ½ can of frosting in a small bowl and add 2-3 drops of green food coloring, mix well.
  • Frost each cupcake with a knife. Sprinkle on the green candy shreds or jimmies and set aside.
  • Divide the shredded coconut up between six bowls. Add 2-3 drops of different food coloring to each bowl and mix well.
  • Add a little white frosting to a small bowl. Unwrap a dum dum and twirl it in the frosting so it’s coated nice and even but not to thick.
  • Place the frosted sucker into one of the coconut bowls and coat it well. Lay on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Repeat steps until you have all the “truffula” trees made.
  • Place 1 or 2 truffula trees into each cupcake.
  • Ready to serve and enjoy!! Perfect for any Dr. Seuss party!
