MUST ... STOP ... EATING ... COURTNEY'S ... HALLOWEEN ... CANDY!
How am I going to stop myself from eating ALL of her candy?
Don't get me wrong - I'm only taking the pieces that Courtney agrees to share. But staring at a giant pile of candy all day is an obvious hazard but it also inspires me to create some new (and delicious) cupcake flavors.
Butterfingers, rolos, snickers, Hershey bars, M & M's, Reese's Pieces - you name it - I can bake it into a cupcake. (Pretty much anything that you can bring home in your Halloween pumpkin.)
All of the components of this cupcake came from things that I have already blogged about so I will just link up to those blog posts instead of reposting each recipe.
