How to Make Baby Ruth Cupcakes

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Unwrap two 10-count packs of fun-size Baby Ruth® bars. Finely chop 12 bars; set aside 8 bars for the icing.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the chopped Baby Ruth® pieces (12 bars).
  8. Fill each cupcake liner about ¾ full.
  9. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. While the cupcakes cool, prepare the icing: In a medium bowl, beat ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until smooth. Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Stir in 2-3 tablespoons milk to reach desired consistency.
  12. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously with the icing. Sprinkle the remaining chopped Baby Ruth® pieces (8 bars) over the icing.
  13. Serve and enjoy your irresistible Baby Ruth® Cupcakes!
