Snickers Cupcakes

In just a couple weeks your house is going to be exploding with candy. It’s one of the greatest things about Halloween. But it doesn’t take long for the candy to become overwhelming, and you might not know what to do with them. This is a great way to use some of those candy bits up, or really to just make them any time of the year. They’re super sweet and great for any party! Because really – who doesn’t love snickers?

I did use Snickers bites for this recipe, mostly because the chocolate to nougat ratio is a bit better, plus you only need a couple of hands full to put in the cupcakes and top them.
