Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. Mix together all of the cupcake ingredients for the cupcake batter in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop 2 scoops of batter into each liner (about 3 to 4 tablespoons).
  4. Bake the cupcakes for 18 to 22 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean from the center.
  5. Let cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
  6. While cupcakes are cooling, whip together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and pudding mix in a stand mixer with a whisk attachment until light and fluffy
  7. Place frosting in a piping bag and pipe onto the cupcakes.
  8. Just before serving, sprinkle the crushed chips, pretzels, toffee bits, and mini chocolate chips on top of the cupcakes.

Notes

  • I used Snyder’s brand Itty Bitty Pretzels but you can use any pretzels, some large ones will just need to be broken up a bit.
  • Because our frosting has a whipped cream base, our cupcakes will need to be put in the refrigerator within 2 hours of preparation.
  • Pretzels and chips can get soggy, so I always recommend adding them right before eating the cupcakes!
  • Caramel drizzle is an optional topping for these cupcakes - we love the extra indulgence.
  • Sour cream may be used in place of greek yogurt.
  • This recipe has not been tested with alternative milks such as almond or oat, I always use whole.
