These M&M Cupcakes are so crazy good! ANDDD there’s M&M Frosting on top of a the moist Milk Chocolate Cupcake!

So these cupcakes. I hate to say it, but they were totally my kid’s idea.  Again.

Earlier in the week I shared his Red Velvet Cake Krispie Treats.

And today. Well. He’s nailed. it.

Again.

I honestly need to put him on the pay roll, because these are my new favorite cupcake. It’s the frosting you guys.

We were driving one day last week and he said, “What if you crushed up M&Ms and added them into frosting.  Like a Blizzard.” Seriously my heart stopped from love. So basically I raced home because I knew the idea was too good to be true.

It wasn’t. It was truth. A plain, bold, delicious, candy truth. Is there anything better?

SO easy and so delicious!

Ok.  More truth. These cupcakes took me 3 tries to perfect.

I knew I wanted a good milk chocolate cupcake…and I knew I wanted melted milk chocolate in the batter.

The first batch.  HORRIBLE.  Basically inedible. The second batch…slightly closer, but still meh. But finally I got it.  Third tries rule. Seriously, these are perfect Milk Chocolate Cupcakes.

But let’s focus on the frosting…because it’s really the ball-hog here.

First just cream some butter and add in powdered sugar.  Slowly. Not like I did here.

Rookie move.

Y’all are gonna die.  The frosting tastes like a giant M&M cloud.

Ok, that sounded stupid…but it kinda does.
