Quick Buttercream Frosting
18 Tbsp butter, softened
6 Tbsp milk
1 Tbsp vanilla
6 ¾ cups powdered sugar
Prepare cupcakes according to directions on cake mix package. Let cupcakes cool completely.
Using a sharp knife, cut a circle out on top of the cupcake. Make your cut go about halfway into the cupcake. Remove the cake chunk and fill the hole will fudge frosting (I used two spoons to scoop the frosting into the hole). Invert the cupcake chunk on top of the fudge frosting – you want the extra cake to be sticking up.
Prepare the buttercream frosting. Mix together all the ingredients and beat on medium for 3 minutes, until fluffy. Transfer frosting into a piping bag and pipe frosting on top of the cupcakes, covering the cake chunk. Let the frosting set up for 30 minutes.
While the frosting is setting up, crush the Butterfingers in the food processor until completely pulverized. **I froze the Butterfingers and crushed them frozen.**
Combine chocolate chips and oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat on HIGH for 1 minute. Stir and continue to heat at 30 second intervals until completely melted. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before using. (You might want to do this in two batches so the chocolate doesn’t harden while you dip the cupcakes) Dip the frosted cupcakes into the chocolate – I used a spoon to hold the frosting into place to make sure it didn’t fall off the cupcake. Immediately coat the cupcake with the pulverized Butterfingers – just smash it all over the chocolate. Repeat until all cupcakes are dipped and covered. Refrigerate approximately 1 hour to allow the chocolate to set up.
We just went to Disney World last month. I had read all these rave reviews about the cupcakes at Starring Rolls, so we got 1 of each to sample. I have to say I really wasn't impressed. I do NOT like dense cupcakes, and every one that we got was exactly that. You really could not taste the butterfinger at all on this one. 🙁
Gosh i want these but fear for my hips if i made them!!! i wouldnt want to share!!!
oh you bad, bad girl…thanks 😉 my fave candy is butterfinger and have always wanted to use them differently in my cuppies…
Looks sinfully good!
I've never seen a cupcake that looked so good! And, you did a great job recreating it. Butterfinger is my second favorite candy bar behind Three Musketeers. Can you make anything with that?:)
I can't believe you were there!! I was too!!
I saw so many Auburn shirts but most people looked at me like I was a nut when I said "WAR EAGLE!!"
Loooord, have mercy
Wow! Looks good.
