- 15.25oz Chocolate boxed cake mix
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- ⅓ cup chopped peanuts
- 3 tbsp caramel sundae sauce
- 16 oz can buttercream frosting
- 16 oz can salted caramel frosting
- 12 fun size Snickers candies
- Caramel sundae sauce (for drizzling)
- Chocolate sundae sauce (for drizzling)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a cupcake pan with 24 cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, beat the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs for 3 minutes.
Divide the cupcake batter between the cupcake liners. Transfer to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Transfer to a cooling rack for one hour to cool.
Once cupcakes are completely cooled, use a knife or skewer to remove a small piece from the center of each cupcake. Set aside the top piece, but discard the rest.
Add the peanuts and 3 tbsp sundae sauce to a small bowl and stir. Fill each center hole that you made with the filling. Stuff the top piece back on.
Add both cans of frosting to a bowl and beat for 2 minutes, until light and fluffy. Fill a piping bag equipped with a large star tip and pipe frosting onto cupcakes.
Chop the Snickers bars, then sprinkle pieces on top of each cupcake, then top with a caramel and chocolate drizzle.
To keep the cupcakes fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two. If storing for a longer period, refrigerate them to maintain their freshness.

You can use a creamy peanut butter frosting, cream cheese frosting, caramel buttercream frosting or chocolate ganache to top your Snickers cupcakes.
