Breakfast of champions! ...just kidding. This is a cream cheese cupcake filling mix with chunks of Snickers in it. It looks a bit gross when you mix it in (see below), but just because it's ugly doesn't mean it's bad.
And then you make a delicious caramel icing to go on top! Yes, I found another caramelly recipe.
This is another recipe from Betty Crocker's Big Book of Cupcakes. She calls them Chocolate Candy Cupcakes (recipe here) but I call them Snickers Cupcakes. Because, you know, I used Snickers. Betty refers to them more generically as "chocolate-covered nougat, caramel and peanut candy bars."
More importantly, they were delicious. Although very sweet, so be careful not to overdose! In fairness, I took these to a work bake-off and I think I was already over my sugar quota by the time I got to trying one. They probably deserve another chance ;)
Actually, these are really good. The base is chocolate, but then you get the chewy, creamy, nutty filling baked into the top...

Often when I make something out of a book the photo shown looks nothing like what I end up with. On this occasion I feel like they were more similar than usual.
