Take a box of chocolate cake mix to the next level with this delicious Cocoa Pebbles cupcakes! This is an easy recipe to make, and it's perfect for a party.

I started with a box of cake mix and added a box of chocolate pudding to make the cupcakes moist. Then I added Cocoa Pebbles cereal to give it more chocolate flavor and a fun texture. These are based on the Duncan Hines Cocoa Pebbles cake mix.

Even though I used a box cake mix, I recommend making the frosting from scratch. It's so much better than canned frosting!

These are a fun cupcake and easy to make at home. My kids love them!
