💬 Reader prompt: Are you team “extra caramel filling” or team “extra chocolate frosting”?

 

 I set out on a cupcake adventure, best date night ever. I love a good Twix candy bar every once and a while. So we set out to make cupcakes that tasted just like a Twix. My roommates call me a cake snob because I like to make everything from scratch, I think it just tastes better.

 

This is an intense recipe but it was fun to make with somebody else. These are very delicious and a little bit rich, but you just can not stop eating them. I delivered them to some neighbor girls and they loved them. So here is the
recipe!

They’re simple enough for a weekend bake, impressive enough for a party, and joyful enough for those “I need something decadent immediately” days.

There’s something magical about a cupcake that tastes like it came from a gourmet bakery but was made in your own kitchen. Something about cookie bottoms, dulce de leche, homemade caramel, and silky chocolate frosting swirling together that feels nostalgic, indulgent, and just a little bit rebellious.

These Twix Cupcakes are the kind of recipe that becomes a tradition — the dessert your family requests again and again, the one you bring to neighbors, the one you whip up when you want your home to smell like happiness.
