All opinions are mine alone. #WhenImHungry #CollectiveBias These yummy cupcakes start with a cake mix, are filled with SNICKERS® peanut butter squares and topped with creamy sweet peanut butter frosting! I know right now I only have a half day Kindergartner in the house, but I also have a husband who is in seminary too, so I do get to say what an awesome after school snack these cupcakes have become in our house! All three of my “boys” (Paul definitely included) are absolutely fanatical over anything peanut butter so I knew these would be a hit with them. I couldn’t help but include one of my all-time favorite candy bar – SNICKERS® Peanut Butter Squares – stuffed inside and on top of these perfect little cupcakes! I’ll tell you what, in my college days SNICKERS® and I were pretty much best buds. Hunger does not even begin to describe having to sit through 3 hour classes at night when up until 5 minutes before class started I was completing whatever homework was due that day. I’m ashamed to say with all that money I spent, I skipped dinner quite a bit because of this reason! I’m a procrastinator by heart, what can I say? There was a little cafe & coffee house on campus and I pretty much always stopped in before my night classes and got a coffee and a SNICKERS® bar to get me through. While I loved being at college, I honestly do not miss having to complete all the class work and study for tests and all the rest that goes with getting through school. I’m quite happy in my little house with my 2.5 kids (hehe) baking up these yummy cupcakes for them! Even if they do like to interrupt my blog posts by typing randomly on my laptop. :/ If you’re planning on using icing tips to decorate these cupcakes, definitely spring for the decorator bags – they’re much more sturdy to hold up to a thicker frosting like this peanut butter frosting. You could certainly just frost them with a butter knife – they taste just the same that way! I believe the first words out of Paul’s mouth after taking a bite of his cupcake was, “These are PRO Kel, really!” 🙂 I picked up the fun size bags of SNICKERS at my local supermarket Weis in the candy aisle right next to the regular SNICKERS. These cupcakes would be great to whip up after all that Halloween and Easter candy our kids seem to accumulate!

Michele says October 28, 2018 at 10:59 pm I made these today and my icing seemed ‘wet’. I double checked all the ingredients and I did everything right. It’s almost as if there was too much butter. Reply
