Snickers Cupcakes - mix

Method

• For the cupcakes:
• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two 12 cup muffin tins with paper liners.
• 2. In a large bowl mix cake mix, eggs, water and oil together.
• 3. Divide mix into prepared muffin tins.
• 4. Place two frozen Snickers bars into the center of each cupcake.
• 5. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Try not to insert the toothpick into the Snickers bar or you won't get a true read.
• 6. Remove the pans from the oven and allow cupcakes to cool completely.
• For the icing:
• 1. In a medium sized bowl cream together butter and cream cheese.
• 2. Slowly add powdered sugar, mixing as you go.
• 3. Add caramel and vanilla and mix until combined.
• 4. Add milk until you reach the right consistency for piping or spreading.
• 5. Taste. If you would like a more intense caramel flavoring add more.
• 6. Pipe or spread frosting onto the top of the cooled cupcakes.
• 7. Enjoy! These may be garnished with more Snickers and caramel.
• A couple of notes:
• - I added two Snickers because the first time I made these with one,
• I did not get a strong Snickers flavor. I wanted the flavor to be very prominent so I added another.
• - Also we in our house do not like an overly sweet frosting so I added the cream cheese. This can be omitted if desired. If so just increase your butter and powdered sugar as desired.
