Monday MUNCH Volume 2: The Mounds Surprise Cupcake

Now, I know coconut is a love-it-or-hate-it food, but people, once you eat one of these cupcakes, you’ll be on the love-it side.

OK, perhaps that is an exaggeration, but you can stick ANYTHING inside these cupcakes that will suit your fancy.

yummmmm

What you need:

cupcake batter (someday I’ll post my favorite batter that is from scratch, but honestly, any chocolate box mix is fine-I used the dark chocolate Duncan Hines this time around)

fun-sized mounds bar (12, cut in half)

coconut flakes

frosting (again, the scratch recipe for another time…I used a butter cream this time around

cupcake pan

cupcake liners (trust me)

What you do:

Mix the batter, per directions or recipe.  Spoon batter into cupcake liners, a little less than half full.  Place halved Mounds (or candy of choice) pieces into liners.  Cover the candy with batter until the liner is about 2/3 full.  Sprinkle coconut on top of batter.

Bake as directed.  Let cool.  Frost and enjoy.

Seriously, this is not rocket science, folks.  Just a fun way to spice up boxed cupcakes!

Now go get your MUNCH on!
