No-Bake Chocolate Candy Cupcakes

Can you say To-Die-For?! Honestly, how can you go wrong with melted candy bars and butter? I got this recipe from thedishtoday.blogspot.com. I was thinking that these little bites of heaven might be good made with Snickers too. I dare you to try these!

No-Bake Chocolate Candy Cupcakes

5 (2 oz) Milky Way candy bars
4 Tb. butter
3 1/2 C Rice Krispies cereal
1 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
(1/2 cube white almond bark)

Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper baking cups. Chop 4 of the candy bars coarsely. Slice the remaining candy bar into 12 thin pieces. In a medium saucepan place the chopped candy and the butter over medium heat. Heat and stir until melted and smooth (don't panic if it's not smooth at the beginning). Stir in the cereal. Quickly spoon into baking cups and kind of pat down to get it all sticking together.

The original recipe called for the 1 C choc. chips melted and then mixed with 1 tsp. vanilla. I did this and my chocolate totally seized up on me and harden in an instant. So I tried again and used the 1 choc. chips and melted it with a little white almond bark so it would harden a little better. It worked great - all you need is a little garnish so do this step however you are most familiar with. Top the melted chocolate garnish with a slice of the reserved Milky Way. Chill for 30 minutes to set the chocolate topping. Holy Cow these were great!

Note: I actually only got 11 out of my batch because I filled them a little full - but you could easily get 12.
