You’ll want to first go ahead & preheat your oven to 350 degrees F then add the cupcake liners to the pan. While the oven is preheating, whisk together the cake mix and watermelon jello in a large mixing bowl.

Once the cake mix and jello are mixed together well, add eggs, buttermilk and oil to your mixing bowl. Mix until completely smooth. If you are using food coloring, add a few drops and mix until you get your desired color.

When the ingredients in your mixing bowl are smooth, fold in the chocolate chips. Using a wooden spoon is great for this!

Divide the batter into the cupcake liners and use about three tablespoons of batter in each cupcake liner. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12-14 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a cooling rack until completely cooled. Decorate with the frosting of your choice and sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top.
