Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

3

Line 24 muffin cups with cupcake liners

4

To a medium bowl, add the cake mix, eggs, yogurt, flour and 1 cup water

5

Using a hand-held mixer, beat the mixture until completely smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes

6

Remove half of the batter to a separate bowl

7

To one of the bowls of batter, add 1/4 cup of the cocoa powder and continue to mix until combined, about a minute more

8

Using a 1-tablespoon ice cream scoop, scoop 1 heaping tablespoon of the vanilla batter onto one side of all of the muffin cups

9

Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the chocolate batter right next to the vanilla scoop so it is half chocolate, half vanilla

10

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean, about 15 minutes

11

Cool for 5 minutes in the tin and then remove the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely

12

Meanwhile, place the butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl

13

Using a hand-held mixer, beat the mixture on medium-high speed for 3 minutes

14

Remove half of the frosting from the bowl and reserve as vanilla

15

Fold the remaining 1/2 cup cocoa powder into the remaining half of the frosting

16

Using a rubber spatula, spoon the vanilla frosting into a resealable plastic baggie or a pastry bag

17

Spoon the chocolate into a separate bag

18

Snip the tips of the bags and pipe the frosting in two spirals on top of the cooled cupcakes

19

Swirl the tops with a spoon

20

You should get a little of each flavor on each cupcake! Top each cupcake with 3 M&M's
