Looking for a fun St. Paddy’s treat?  Try these easy Rainbow Jello Poke Cupcakes!  The kids are sure to love them!

Rainbow Jello Poke Cupcakes

These Rainbow Jello Poke Cupcakes are so moist & delicious, you’ll find yourself making variations of them for all special occasions! This rainbow poke cupcake recipe is inexpensive and very easy to make!

Rainbow Poke Cupcake Ingredients

Roundup your ingredients.  You’ll need cake mix (plus water, oil, and eggs) or your favorite homemade cupcake mix.  Plus, you will need milk, butter, sugar, and green food coloring for the frosting, Airhead Extremes for the rainbows, and lime jello!

Poke Cupcakes

Start by making your cupcakes & letting them cool completely, then poke holes in them. I just use a fork to put in about 12-16 holes. Make sure you don’t push too far down or you will puncture the bottom.  I go about 1/2 to 3/4 way down.

Jello Poke Cupcakes

Now, make your Jello.  Mix the powder & boiling water until completely dissolved. Add 1/2 cup of cold water and pour over each cupcake.  Put them in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.  While they are cooling I make the frosting, so it might be a bit longer, depending on how many times the twins need something.

Rainbow Cupcakes for Saint Patrick's Day
Now, make your frosting & divide.  You’ll need about 1/4 of it white and the rest green.  Use a piping bag (or a ziplock bag with the corner cut off) to decorate the top of each cupcake green, then add white clouds & bend the airheads strip between the two clouds to form the rainbow.
