Our own summary of the original by Jen Street — the full post and photos live at anightowlblog.com.
These Halloween Candy Cupcakes start with a boxed chocolate cake mix, studded with chopped candy bars. A creamy peanut butter-vanilla frosting tops each cupcake, finished with a sprinkle of reserved candy. It's a fun and easy way to use up extra trick-or-treat sweets.
Ingredients
Directions
- Cut the candy bars into small pieces, and reserve one-third of the chopped candy to use as a topping later.
- Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the directions on the box.
- Fold the remaining chopped candy (the two-thirds portion) into the cake batter until evenly distributed.
- Divide the batter among cupcake liners and bake for the time and temperature specified on the cake mix box.
- While the cupcakes are in the oven, combine the peanut butter with the vanilla frosting and stir until smooth.
- After the cupcakes have cooled completely, spread the peanut butter frosting on top and sprinkle with the reserved candy pieces.
