- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 can soda please don't use diet - you need full sugar
- 15 Snickers minis- chopped
- 20 additional Snickers minis for topping
- *Frosting
- 8 tbsp 1 stick butter - room temperature
- 4 cups confectioners sugar
- 1/3 cup Milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees & line your cupcake tins with liners - I chose football liners
In mixer bowl, combine cake mix & soda & beat well until thick & smooth
Fold in chopped Snickers
Spoon batter into prepared cupcake papers filling 3/4 of the way full
Bake to box directions or until centers spring back when pressed slightly (about 30 min)
Remove & transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before adding frosting
*Frosting
In a mixer with a paddle attachment cream butter until light & fluffy
Add in confectioners sugar & beat slowly
Once mixture looks moist but crumbly add in milk & beat until fluffy again - if you want it a little softer add additional creamer 1-2 tsp at a time
Add to a frosting bag fitted with a large tip & pipe on your cooled cupcakes
Top with additional Snickers minis
