These Chocolate Butterfinger Cupcakes are one of the best cupcakes on the planet! Rich, fluffy, moist, and full of Butterfinger goodness. The frosting is chocolate peanut butter perfection! Seriously divine cupcakes!

Ingredients

Cupcakes

  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 3 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 3/4 cups butterfinger bars (well chopped)

Frosting

  • 3/4 cups butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cups cocoa powder
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 4+ tablespoons milk

Topping

  • 1/2 cup butterfinger bars (chopped)

Directions

Cupcakes
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350
In a large mixing bowl beat the butter and peanut butter until smooth. Add all remaining cake ingredients except the Butterfingers. Mix well. Stir in the Butterfingers by hand. Fill lined cupcake tins about 2/3 full. Bake for 14 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.

Step 2

    No wonder that these babies vanished in a sec, but I’m sure that frosting with pretzels was also a very tasty treat. I’ve featured this recipe on my blog, hoping that you don’t mind, but if you do, please contact me and I’ll remove it. All the best.

    Pinned to my Crazy for Cupcakes board! Homemade cupcakes aren’t hard and they totally worth the effort. My Butterfinger-loving mama would be obsessed with these.
