Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup mixed mini candies (chocolate or fruit candies such as M&Ms, Skittles, or mini marshmallows)
• 2 cups frosting of choice (buttercream, cream cheese, etc.)
• 0.25 cup colored sprinkles (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Once cooled, use a small paring knife or a cupcake corer to create a hollow center in each cupcake. Be careful not to go all the way to the bottom.

Step 9

Fill each hollow with your chosen mini candies, then place the removed cupcake piece back on top to seal the candy inside.

Step 10

Frost the cupcakes with your frosting of choice, covering the seam to keep the hidden candy a surprise.

Step 11

Decorate the top with colored sprinkles, if desired.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy the surprise in every bite!
