{Recipe} “Oh Henry” Candy Bar Birthday Cupcakes!

"Oh Henry" Candy Bar Birthday Cupcakes on pizzazzerie.com #birthday #cupcakes So if you follow me on instagram or vine, you know I love my 2 year old English Springer Spaniel – HENRY! I work from home – by myself – so this little guy is my right hand man. Seriously obsessed. However, he can be a little naughty too (he has an affinity or socks and specifically scattering them across the house). This causes quite a lot of “OH HENRY!”. Well, fitting that it’s also one of the most delicious candy bars ever. Peanuts + Caramel + Chocolate? Yes, this candy bar cupcake recipe is totally amazing. Like Henry!

Henry the English Springer SpanielHenry turned 2 when I was at Blissdom last month so we’re celebrating a little late. Last year, I made some “pupcakes” for him (he proceeded to totally swallow one whole). This year, I thought I’d make some human cupcakes in honor of the little rascal. So the Oh Henry Birthday Cupcakes were born! Toss the confetti (of the edible variety) because these guys are freaking fabulous. They are a chocolate peanut butter cupcake topped with a caramel buttercream garnished with chocolate sauce, peanuts, and sprinkles!

Go for it! But for this occasion, I jazzed up a cake mix because (a) I was crazy busy and (b) I happen to think the Duncan Hines cake mixes are great.
