Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make Ahead

Cupcakes can be decorated ahead of time. Refrigerate up to 8 hours before serving.

If You Don't Have a Piping Bag

Fill a resealable plastic food storage bag with pudding mixture; seal bag. Cut one corner off bottom of bag, then use to squeeze pudding mixture from bag into cupcakes.
