Notes

- Cookie Muzzel: We like using mini Vanilla Wafers, but you can also use regular-size if that's what you can find at the store.
- Candy Noses: You can use any red, round candy for the nose to make them Rudolph cupcakes.
- Make Ahead & Freezing: You can freeze the undecorated baked cupcakes for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight and decorate before serving.
