Lime Jello Cuppie Cakes

1 box lemon cake mix 

1 small box lime Jello 

3/4 cup water 

1/3 cup lime juice 

1/3 cup oil 

3 eggs 

2 or 3 drops green food coloring 

Lime Cream Cheese Frosting:

1 (8 oz) cream cheese, softened 

1/4 cup butter, softened 

1 tsp. vanilla extract 

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar 

2 tsp. lime juice 

2-3 drops green food coloring

24 chocolate candy hearts (optional)

Pre- heat oven to 350 degrees

Place paper baking cup in 24 regular-size muffin cups. In large bowl, beat cupcake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally, divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. 

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove from pan to cooling rack. 

In large bowl, mix cream cheese and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy. On low speed, beat in vanilla extract, lime juice, green food coloring and 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar until mixed; beat on medium speed until fluffy. Frost cupcakes by swirling frosting in the center of the cupcakes (I topped mine with a chocolate candy heart, optional). Chill until ready to serve, enjoy.
