Whopper Cupcakes

 My son is not much of a chocolate fan (I have no idea where he gets that from as I'm a confirmed chocoholic...) but he does love Whoppers. I have seen many variations of this cupcake recipe and decided to play around with my own. DS went absolutely nuts for these and was trying to eat them before they were even frosted because of the way they smelled while baking.

Whopper Cupcakes

Ingredients

• 1 box of yellow cake mix
• 3 eggs
• 1 1/4 cups of water
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 boxes Whoppers
• 1 cup Carnation malted milk

 Prepare a boxed cake according to instructions. Add in one cup of crushed Whoppers and one cup of Carnation malted milk. Bake for 18 minutes at 350 degrees F. Spread with the frosting of your choice (We like vanilla.) Sprinkle crushed whoppers to the top of each cupcake and add a full sized Whopper on top.

If you prefer to make your own frosting, I found this recipe online:

Simply combine all of the ingredients, pipe onto cooled cupcakes, garnish with crushed candy and top with a whole Whoppers malted milk ball.
