Snickers cupcakes are perfect for any party. Sweet and delectable with chocolate ganache.
I like to bake and cook healthy recipes but sometimes I just love sweet desserts like these snickers cupcakes. I know putting candy in the cupcakes is loaded with calories but it’s so delicious and sometimes I’ve got craving for that.
Actually, these snickers cupcakes were made for my son’s birthday party. It’s a party so we need lovely cupcakes, cakes and snacks. It’s life and I think we can indulge sometimes in sweet things like these yummy cupcakes with caramel nutty snickers. Everything in moderation is perfect for me. As I love to have healthy and unprocessed food as much as I can. Also, I love to have desserts like this or yummy Frappucino from Starbucks, or a bark of chocolate.
These cupcakes are topped with chocolate ganache and snicker on top. It also has some small snickers inside. Flavor of caramel, nuts and chocolate. Yum!
I decorated them with printable bow tie wrapper and cupcake topper. Since it was the party for my 6 year old son and First Communion for my older son. I had to come up with colors that can suit my boys. I’ve decide to go with dark bluish theme and I added some bow tie to it. The whole party package can be seen here on my——> Etsy Shop.
