• Prep Time: 15 min.
• Bake Time: 28-31 min.
• Decoration Time: 40 min.
• Difficulty: Easy
• Yield: 1 butterfly that serves about 16.

• 1 16-oz. box pound cake mix
• 2 cups white frosting
• 4 pieces STARBURST® Brand FUN SIZE® Fruit Chews
• 1¾ cups M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies (May substitute with 1 ¾ cups M&M’S® Brand Dark Chocolate Candies)
• 1 9-inch round cake pan

• 1. Make the cake batter according to the directions on the package. Bake in a greased 9-inch cake pan. Once baked, remove from pan and cool.
• 2. Cut the cake in half. Arrange the cake on a serving platter, turning the halves so that the rounded sides touch. To shape the wings, cut out a 1-inch triangle from each straight side, 2-inches from the bottom.
• 3. Completely frost the cake with the icing. Design a mosaic pattern with M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies for Easter, and then press them into the top of the cake.
• 4. To make the butterfly’s antennae, unwrap and soften the STARBURST® Brand FUN SIZE® Fruit Chews for Easter in the microwave for approximately 5 seconds. Then roll the candy into thin ropes and place them at the top of the butterfly.
