Hot Dog Cupcakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

circus peanuts
1 square caramel candy
yellow decorator's icing
red decorator's icing
cut-up green gumdrop (optional)
1 baked cupcake
2 tablespoons white icing
1 teaspoon small mixed color nonpareils

Preparation

For the bun, cut a wedge in the circus peanut. If the caramel is soft, roll it into a hot dog shape. If it's hard, first soften it in your hand or in a microwave for a few seconds. Caution: the caramel can get hot!
Place the \"hot dog\" in the bun and squirt on a squiggly line of yellow and/or red icing.
Garnish with green gumdrop \"relish,\" if you wish.
Frost the cupcake with white icing, place the hot dog on top, and sprinkle on nonpareils.
