Instructions: POUR milk into medium bowl. Add pudding mix. Beat with wire whisk until well blended, 1 to 2 minutes. Fold in whipped topping. Reserve 1 teaspoon pudding mixture.

CUT tops off cupcakes. Cut each top in half; set aside. Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons pudding mixture onto each cupcake; top with sprinkles. For each cupcake, insert 2 top halves of cupcake, cut sides together, in pudding mixture, raising outside ends slightly to resemble butterfly wings. Lightly dip confetti candies into reserved pudding mixture; arrange on cupcake wings. Insert string licorice in pudding mixture to resemble antennae.

Chill until ready to serve.
