Mars Bar Cupcakes
A rich Easter treat made with Mars bars and cornflakes, with a cute presentation suitable for both adults and children.
Ingredients
Unsalted butter (room temperature)
50 g
Golden syrup
2 tbsp
Mars chocolate bars (cut into 1 cm cubes)
260 g
Cornflakes
150 g
Instructions
1
Preparation and Preheating
Line a 12-hole muffin tin or three 12-hole mini muffin tins with appropriately sized cupcake paper liners.
2
Melting the Chocolate
Place the butter and golden syrup in a saucepan, heat over very low heat while stirring constantly. Add the chopped Mars chocolate pieces and continue stirring until just melted. Remove from heat and gently fold in the cornflakes until fully combined — but don't stir vigorously, or you'll crush the cornflakes.
3
Shaping and Cooling
Spoon a loose mound of the mixture into each cupcake paper liner, and let it cool and set.
4
Decoration
Once fully cooled, place a small amount of chocolate buttercream frosting (see page 29) in the center of each cupcake, and decorate with Easter chicks, bunnies, or mini chocolate eggs.
5
Storage
If there are any leftovers, store in an airtight container for about 3 days.
