Recipe of the Week - Jelly Bean Cupcakes and Cadbury Cupcakes

I tried out two different cupcakes using the same batter from the Chocolate Chip Cupcakes recipe, just minus the chocolate chips.  They are both great but I'm partial to the Cadbury option because one, it's chocolate and two, it's Cadbury eggs!

Jelly Bean Cupcakes

Make your cupcake batter according to the directions at the link above.

Cut up about 1 cup of jelly beans into quarters, or smaller if you want. 

Add the beans to your batter and fold them in.

Fill 3/4 way and bake as directed on linked recipe.

Cool and then frost with your choice of frosting.  I chose a creamy vanilla for mine.  Top with some whole jelly beans or even some chopped ones.  Enjoy!

Cadbury Cupcakes

Make your cupcake batter according to the directions at the link above.

Buy the mini Cadbury eggs.  They come in packs of 12.  Peel off the foil.

Coat the eggs in flour.

Fill your liner about 1/4 way full and then place a floured egg in the center.  

Fill the rest of the way and make sure that the egg is completely covered.

Bake as directed in linked recipe and when cooled frost with your favorite frosting.  I used the same frosting as I did for the Jelly Bean Cupcakes because I made these at the same time.  Generously top with sprinkles or some other fun candy.
