Oh man, do I have a super yummy treat to share with you today! If you like chocolate or cupcakes or Twix or all of the above, you have to try these homemade Twix bars cupcakes. These are so good, but not at all difficult.
If you are looking for an equally delicious, yet not as sweet cupcake, try my Key Lime Cupcakes. I love these, too, but sometimes I’m just in the mood for chocolate. Tell me you understand. 😉
Before you start making these cupcakes, make sure you have all of the materials you need. I don’t know why, but I never seem to have cupcake liners when I need them.
Now, when I make cupcakes for home, I like to use my silicone liners, but if I am making these homemade Twix bars cupcakes for a party, I need some cute cupcake liners. Learn from my lack of preparedness and just order a bunch from Amazon so you always have them on hand.
Mini lecture over, let’s get to the heart of the matter. Make your shopping list and get to baking these yummy cupcakes.
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/3 Cup cocoa
- 1/2 Cup unsalted sweet cream butter softened
- 3/4 Cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 Tablespoon pure vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 Cup whole milk
Directions for Homemade Twix Bars Cupcakes:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line cupcake pan with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside.
3. In a different bowl, cream butter and sugar for 2 minutes or until smooth and creamy. Add in the vanilla and egg until well blended.
4. Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until combined.
5. Add in milk and mix again.
6. Evenly distribute the batter into the cupcake liners.
7. Bake at 350 F for 21-24 minutes, or until the top springs back when pressed down. Remove to wire racks to cool before frosting.
Frosting:
- 1/2 Cup unsalted sweet cream butter
- 3 Cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 Tablespoon caramel extract
- 3 Tablespoon heavy whipping cream
Directions for Frosting:
1. In a mixing bowl with a stand mixer, combine all ingredients and mix together.
2. If frosting looks like pebbles (too dry), add another tablespoon of heavy whipping cream.
3. If frosting is to thin, add in 1/2 cup powdered sugar.
4. Once frosting is at a thick consistency, pipe onto cooled cupcakes and drizzle with caramel sauce, then top with a Twix.
