BUTTERFINGER CUPCAKES (Adapted from saving you dinero)

Chocolate Cupcakes

1 Box Devil’s Food Cake

¼  sour cream

1 small box chocolate instant pudding

Plus the ingredients on the box – eggs, oil, water (or can sub milk)

Peanut Butter Icing

2 sticks of butter softened

1 ½  cups creamy peanut butter

2 tsp vanilla

pinch of salt

4 cups powdered sugar

2-3 TBSP heavy whipping cream (or more nail the desired consistency.)

5-6 small Butterfinger bars

Mix together all the cake mix ingredients until well combined.

Fill up the cupcake liners 2/3 full.

Bake 18 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and let them cool completely.

Unwrap the Butterfinger candies and place is a plastic bag. Use something (like a rolling pin) to crush into crumbs and set aside.

Mix together the butter and peanut butter for about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and salt. Alternate the powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream while mixing.

If the icing is too thick you can add a little more heavy whipping cream until you get to the desired consistency. Top with Butterfinger Crumbs.
