Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Line a second pan with 2 liners. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, whisk the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla until completely smooth.
-
Pour half of the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Then half of the buttermilk. Gently stir, about 5 stirs.
-
Repeat with the remaining wet ingredients and buttermilk. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter won’t be very thick.
-
Pour/spoon the batter into the liners – fill only halfway to avoid spilling over the sides. Bake in batches for 18 to 19 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
For around 30 mini cupcakes, bake for about 10 minutes, same oven temperature. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
Frosting:
-
Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the softened butter on medium speed for 1 minute until completely smooth and creamy.
-
Add the peanut butter and beat on medium-high speed until the two are combined. Add the confectioners’ sugar, cream, vanilla extract, and salt.
-
Beat on low speed for about 20 seconds, then gradually increase to high speed. Beat on high for 1 minute.
-
Frost cooled cupcakes. Top with caramel sauce and chopped Snickers.
