Twix Cupcakes
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! I just want to take a second on this day of love and all things pink to THANK ALL OF YOU for visiting my blog and letting me be a small part of your day! I love reading your comments, your tweets, your messages, your emails and personally connecting with you each and everyday, I’m so thankful to do what I love as my job. And I couldn’t make it happen without all of you!
STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE ON HOW TO MAKE THESE TWIX CUPCAKES:
PRE-STEP: Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line (1) cupcake pan with 12 cupcake liners. Set aside. STEP 1: In a medium bowl, mix flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside. STEP 2: In a large bowl, using an electric or stand mixer on medium speed, beat eggs and sugar for about 2 minutes, or until light and creamy. STEP 3: Add the butter and vanilla extract and beat on low speed for about 1 minute, or until well blended. STEP 4: Beat in the dry ingredients on low speed until blended. DO NOT OVER MIX! STEP 5: Add the sour cream and beat until smooth. STEP 6: Fill each cupcake liner about 3/4 the way full with cupcake batter. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool before frosting. MAKE CARAMEL BUTTERCREAM FROSTING: STEP 7: Using an electric or stand mixer, cream together butter, corn syrup, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Beat for about 3 minutes. STEP 8: Slowly, add powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream. Mix until frosting becomes light and fluffy, adding milk until the mixture reaches desired consistency. Add caramel sauce and mix until combined. STEP 9: Frost cooled cupcakes using a piping bag or knife. Top with SPRINKLES & a Twix bar. *For the frosting, heavy cream or half-and-half will give your frosting the creamiest texture. You may use milk instead, but the frosting won't be as creamy.

I noticed that corn syrup was listed on Step 7 for the buttercream, but it was not listed in the ingredients. How much is needed (if any)? Thanks!
Thanks for catching my mistake! You will need 2 Tablespoons light corn syrup!
I love Twix too. When you combine it with a chocolate cupcake and caramel buttercream frosting it sounds awesome!
