You’ll love these Butterfinger Cupcakes!
We made some cupcakes the other day that I posted on Instagram.
I had a bunch of people ask for the recipe. So here it is.
It’s super easy since it uses a simple yellow cake mix. And it’s perfect to make for Easter too!
Here’s the recipe!

These look dreamy! Peanut butter cupcakes are one of my but have never tried it with a Butterfinger. Must try!

I am about to try this, I bought Confectioners Sugar per the ingredients but I don’t see where it is used in the recipe? Am I missing something?
Hi Brandy — the confectioner sugar is used in the frosting. The frosting is the butter, vanilla, confectioner sugar, milk and vanilla. Blend those items up for the buttercream frosting 🙂

I just tried to make these and all the butterscotch chips and butterfinger egg fell to the bottom while cooking. When you peeled off the liner all the candy part was stuck to the bottom of the liner. Any suggestions.
Hi Megan — the butterfinger egg does sink to the bottom of the cupcake liner, but the butterscotch chips should evenly distribute throughout the batter when you cook it.

Made these, but all of my butterscotch chips stuck to the bottom of the cupcake liner. What did I do wrong?
Hi Donna – I am not sure what happened. My chips were kind of evenly distributed. I hope it still tasted yummy!
xoxo
Oh my they look so yummy! Love that a treat is waiting inside for me 😉
Those look amazing!!! I’m totally going to try them with gluten-free cake mix! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I would love to tweak this recipe according to the different chocolate varieties that my kids love. They are not into Butterfinger bars and are very much into M and M’s. I know my recipe would work out great too!
these look so yummy! love that top photo, pure cuteness!

Thanks Julia!! The bunnies ar Lindt chocolate bunnies that come in 5 bunnies per pack. You can get them at Target or any other grocery store. Just sit them on top of the cupakes and you have a beautiful dessert!

Looks delicious! I will probably make sugar cookies since I’ve been craving them so much 🙂
But I will have to try these with some of the leftover candy!
Yum!! Sugar cookies are a classic!
