POLAR BEAR (SHOT)

Polar Bear (Shot) image

The Polar Bear is one of my favourite shots... like a peppermint patty, smooth and refreshing. I had no idea it was so simple to make until my friend put it together during one of our Group Naps. What is a GN? Well, to have a very successful Group Nap, all you need are your best friends, many plush blankets all around you in preferably a variety of colours and textures, lots of chocolate and candy and a few Polar Bear shots. Turn on some Mr. Bean or Family Guy, sip or throw back some Polar Bears, indulge in some chocolates and have the best nap you've ever had. Life does not get much better than that!

EASY POLAR BEAR CUPCAKES

Easy Polar Bear Cupcakes image

An easy-to-decorate, and festive cupcake that's great for any occasion! You can use any cupcake recipe you wish (I've used both the Cranberry Cupcakes with White Chocolate Frosting-minus the white chocolate frosting-and Peppermint Mocha Cupcakes from Allrecipes with great results). Simply whip up some cream cheese frosting, add some coconut and decorations-and you've got adorable, tasty treats bound to make anyone smile!

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

18 each unfrosted cupcakes, cooled
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 ¾ cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
42 each miniature marshmallows
44 black sugar pearl sprinkles, or as needed

Steps:

Place butter in a large bowl and cream until smooth with an electric mixer. Add cream cheese and beat until thoroughly combined. Mix in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla and salt until thoroughly combined. Pour in heavy cream and beat until frosting is smooth, about 2 minutes.
Take 1 baked and cooled cupcake and frost with cream cheese frosting, making as even a layer as possible. Sprinkle coconut over the top of the frosting, and shake off any excess.
Take 1 mini marshmallow and cut it in half horizontally using scissors or kitchen shears. Place one half of the marshmallow cut-side down in the center of the top of the cupcake, and press gently into the frosting to adhere. Take 1 black sugar pearl sprinkle and attach to the middle of the marshmallow half using a small amount of frosting; thus creating the nose and muzzle. Take 2 black sugar pearl sprinkles and place above the nose on each side for the eyes. Press gently into frosting to adhere. Take 2 whole mini marshmallows and place at the top of the cupcake on each side to create ears. Repeat with remaining cupcakes.
