Snickers Cupcakes
Baked some yummy snickers cupcakes for Angie’s birthday. I thought long and hard about how i wanted to do this. I vacillated between a chocolate cake, with caramel frosting, a chocolate peanut butter swirl cake, vanilla frosting, chocolate-vanilla swirl cake, yellow cake, chocolate frosting, peanut butter frosting. The combinations were endless. I ended up baking a white cake with a chocolate peanut butter buttercream frosting, with sliced up snickers on the inside and outside. Snickers is Angie’s favorite candy bar – at least a i think so – she seems to eat a king size one at work almost everyday! (High metabolism this girl).

Cutting up the snickers. Helps to stick them in the fridge so they aren’t as sticky. Frosting the cupcakes using a ziploc bag, it works perfect, just cut a hole at the edge and throw the bag away when done. The frosting was originally chocolate, but i added in some chunky peanut butter to emulate more of the snickers taste.
The snickers on the inside sunk to the bottom as expected, but it was still a yummy surprise. Two thumbs up from everyone who was lucky enough to taste one!
