Decadent Chocolate Candy Bar Cupcakes

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt, then gradually beat into the sugar mixture until just combined.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix well. Stir in the chopped Snickers bars.

3. 3

   Fill paper-lined muffin cups one-third full with the chocolate batter. Drop the cream cheese filling by tablespoonfuls into the center of each cupcake (cups will be about half full). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the filling comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

4. 4

   For the frosting, in a small saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in the milk, then the confectioners' sugar. Allow to cool until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency, then frost the cooled cupcakes.
