Snickers Inspired Cupcakes

A while ago I saw a post on the Butter Hearts Sugar blog for Snickers inspired cupcakes.

Being a lover of the peanut butter and chocolate combination, I figured adding caramel into the mix could only be a bonus!

I went to buy my can of carnation milk to make my caramel but when I got to the supermarket, I saw that the clever people at Carnation had already done the hard work.

I took the easy option (although the good intentions to make my own caramel were there I assure you!)

I started with chocolate cupcakes.....

.....and then scooped out a bit from the middle and poured about two teaspoons of caramel in.

I then topped with peaut butter frosting and a chocolate covered peanut!

They were yummy!

I asked Mr G if they were too much with the caramel.

He shook his head and with a mouthful of cake he muffled a response that I couldn't quite decipher.

I took that as a no!!
