Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 12-count cupcake pans with liners.
-
Using a stand or handheld electric mixer, beat together the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, oil, milk, and sour cream. Beat for about 2 minutes until well combined.
-
Scoop the batter evenly in all 24 cupcake liners. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the tin and let them cool.
-
While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the mousse by melting the milk chocolate chips in the microwave. Melt for 30 seconds, remove and stir.
-
Place back in the microwave for 30 more seconds and stir. The chocolate chips should be completely melted. If not, continue to melt in 30-second increments. Set aside to cool.
-
Whip the heavy cream with a stand-alone or electric handheld mixer until it looks like whipped cream and stiff peaks form.
-
Fold in melted chocolate chips into the whipped cream until it is all evenly combined.
-
To fill the cupcakes, transfer batches into a piping bag. Once the cupcakes have cooled, press the tip of the piping bag into the center of the cupcake (about 1-inch deep) and squeeze while pulling the tip out.
-
Using a knife, frost the cupcakes with the remaining mousse and sprinkle with chopped Snickers pieces.
