SNICKERS CUPCAKES

These Snickers cupcakes taste JUST like the candy bar… A chocolate cupcake filled with peanut nougat, topped with a caramel buttercream frosting, covered in a chocolate ganache, chopped peanuts and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Oh my God, these cupcakes.

Last week, my husband walked into the kitchen and asked what I thought about making some cupcakes fashioned after candy bars. It sounded like a fabulous idea to me, and at almost the same exact time, we both said, “Snickers!” What better candy bar to recreate in cupcake form than the one and only chocolate, nougat, caramel, peanut classic? I couldn’t think of one.


So, off to create Snickers cupcakes I went!
