1. Make the Cupcakes:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
• Prepare the Betty Crocker white cake mix according to the box instructions.
• Divide the batter evenly into cupcake liners, filling each about ⅔ full.
• Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack.

2. Make the White Chocolate Frosting:

• Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
• In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with a hand or stand mixer until creamy.
• Add the melted white chocolate to the butter and mix until fully combined.
• Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and salt (if using). Adjust the consistency with more cream if needed.

3. Assemble the Snowman Toppers:

• Melt the Ghirardelli white melting wafers according to the package instructions.
• Dip the Double Stuff Golden Oreos into the melted white chocolate, coating them fully. Place the coated Oreos on a parchment-lined tray.
• Decorate each Oreo with black sugar pearls for the eyes and buttons, an orange Tic Tac for the nose, and a Twizzler piece as the scarf.
• Let the decorated Oreos set completely until the chocolate hardens.

4. Decorate the Cupcakes:

• Frost the cooled cupcakes generously with the white chocolate frosting. Use a piping bag for a polished look or a spatula for a simple finish.
• Sprinkle chopped peppermint candies on top for a festive touch (optional).
• Place a peppermint candy in the center of each cupcake and top it with a snowman Oreo.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

• Arrange the cupcakes on a holiday platter and watch as they bring smiles to everyone at your celebration!
