Don't let the word "pistachio" scare you away! These light green cupcakes are made with pistachio pudding so they are moist with just the right amount of pistachio flavor and studded with coconut and chocolate chips. The fluffy topping is also made with pistachio pudding and is a light alternative to a traditional butter cream. All in all, they are pretty much perfect for a St. Patrick's Day treat!

1 white cake mix
2 small boxes of pistachio instant pudding
8 oz. of plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
4 whole eggs
1 cup shredded coconut
3/4 cup of mini chocolate chips

Mix the first six ingredients together with a mixer. The batter will be pretty thick, so use a big wooden spoon or spatula to stir in the coconut and mini chocolate chips. Fill your cupcake papers about...
