What's your favorite candy bar?

I asked Carlos this question recently and he replied that Snickers is his favorite, so as a treat to him I decided to attempt to make Snickers Cupcakes.  After googling some cupcake recipes, I came across one for caramel cupcakes and I thought that pairing that with chocolate buttercream frosting and peanut pieces would hit all the key parts of a Snickers bar!  Here is the finished product :

Although they tasted great, the cake was denser than I anticipated so the cups were not full enough!  The buttercream frosting is a perfect pairing for the pound cake like texture of the cake and the peanuts add a little texture.
