Chocolate Dipped Snickers Popcorn Cupcakes

Warning: These are diet busters. These are cupcakes straight from the diet devil. Don’t bother trying to see how many calories these are…I will save you the trouble. They are 1.2 zillion!!
If you are wondering what’s on top, you read it correctly. Snickers Popcorn. To give you a sneak, it’s popcorn, sugar, corn syrup, caramel peanuts drizzled with chocolate.
Hint: Make extra because it’s THAT good. It won’t make it to the cupcakes.

WATCH OUTS:

1. Dipping the entire cupcakes in chocolate takes a lot of practice. I did 8 and only 5 were presentable. Not sure what happened to the other three. Hee hee
2. Vanilla cupcakes are recommended and should be used first. I thought about using chocolate for a triple threat but there is a snickers bar and a caramel inside so the Vanilla is the perfect accent. Once you taste the Vanilla you can decide next time around if you want to switch up.
3. Take notes and write down tips, so next time you make these you won’t run into the same hurdles.

Snicker Filled, Snicker topped Chocolate Cupcakes

Believe it or not, this is a Thanksgiving recipe, or should I say Post Halloween.  What are you to do with all the candy that you have left over?  Bake!

Just like the recipe states, these chocolate cupcakes have half a Snickers bar in the middle and one planted on top.  The recipe is challenging but you can see the pay off is delicious.  If you find the cocoa and coffee mix too challenging, wave the white flag and get a box of cake mix.  If you are used to making cupcakes from scratch, this should be a breeze.

With half a mini Snickers on top stuck in the frosting and a sprinkling of peanuts, decorating these are literally a piece of cake. Hit the Recipe button
