CandyBar CupCakes

Yeppers, another cupcake for my Mom's Birthday!

CandyBar CupCakes
1 box yellow cake mix
3 eggs (or whatever cake mix box calls for)
1/3 cup applesauce (used instead of oil cake mix box calls for)
3/4 cup water (or whatever cake mix box calls for)
4 oz softened cream cheese
4 T powdered sugar
Snickers Bars (cut into 1" squares)

Preheat oven to 350F.  Prepare cake mix according to directions on box (I substituted applesauce for the oil).  Add the cream cheese and powdered sugar.  Mix until everything is combined.  Fill lined cupcake tins 2/3 full with batter.  Bake at 350F for 20 minutes until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Remove from oven and cool completely.  

Using small scoop, remove center of cupcake, creating a "well" in each cupcake.  Set cupcake centers aside.  Place one square of Snickers in each cupcake well.  Microwave approximately 1 minute, until candy bar is melted.  Place cupcake centers over melted candy bars and press down until level (or close to it; the icing will "hide" the raised centers).

Frost with butter cream icing.
