Snickers Cupcakes are incredibly delicious and so easy to make. From a boxed cake mix comes this incredible dessert inspired by our love of Snickers bars.
Snickers Cupcakes
The basics of this recipe are this: a simple boxed, chocolate cupcake mix topped with a two ingredient caramel frosting and a tiny Snickers bar. Sounds easy enough, right? Let’s get started.
We have made so many cupcakes over the years and love to create new recipes! If you want a cupcake recipe, you’re certainly in the right place.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Chocolate Cake Mix. Any chocolate brand you’d like to use.
- Eggs and Vegetable Oil. To follow the instructions on the cake mix box.
- Vanilla Frosting. We used Pillsbury but you can use whichever brand you want.
- Dulce de Leche Caramel. This comes in a can in the baking aisle.
- Chocolate and Caramel Sauces. The kind you’ll find with the ice cream for sundaes.
- Mini Snickers Bars.
- Peanuts. This is totally optional.
How To Make Snickers Cupcakes
- Make Cupcakes. Follow along with the recipe on the back of the cake mix box. Bake as usual and while they cool, you can move onto the frosting.
- Make Frosting. Mix together the three cans of vanilla frosting with the can of caramel with an electric mixer.
- Frost. When the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with the caramel icing. Top with chocolate and caramel drizzle and a mini Snickers. If you want, add chopped peanuts, too.
We are obsessed with how easy it is to make Snickers bar cupcakes. I am going to make these for my husbands birthday this year. They remind me so much of the cupcakes I spent way too much money on at the bakery last year. He’s gonna love them!
