Welcome to Cupcake Tuesday! I’m so glad to have you! I have updated the Cupcake Heaven page, there are over 100 designs and recipes! Check it out!!
Today I have an oldie but goodie for you. I first shared these Butterfinger Cupcakes last year, but they really didn’t have a post all their own, as they shared it with other filled cupcakes. These are one of my most requested cupcakes when we head to a party or get-together. They are perfect for a birthday celebration, potluck or even a special after school treat.
As always…they are quick, easy and OH SO delicious!!
Quick and easy caramel filled Butterfinger cupcakes from HoosierHomemade.com.
Ingredients
- 1 yellow or butter flavor box cake mix plus ingredients {eggs, oil and buttermilk}
- 1 bottle Caramel Ice Cream Topping
- Buttercream Frosting or frosting of your choice
- Butterfingers candy bars {some of crushing and some mini’s for decoration, optional}
Instructions
- Mix and bake cupcakes with cake mix of your choice {I like yellow or butter flavor for this recipe}
- Cool completely.
- Using a straw, make a hole in the center of the cupcake. You can either squeeze the cake out of the straw or cut off the end.
- Carefully pour caramel topping into hole.
- Let set for a few minutes, the caramel will absorb into the cupcake.
- You can add more caramel if you want.
- Add frosting to a decorator bag that is fitted with a tip, for these I used the #1M tip.
- Pipe on frosting.
- Chop Butterfinger candy bars in the food processor or put them in a ziploc baggie and crush with a rolling pin.
- Sprinkle cupcakes with chopped Butterfingers and add a mini {bite-size} Butterfinger to the top if you like.

Butterfingers are one of the Hubby’s favorite candies. I may just have to use these as inspiration to make something for him as a treat.
