Spoon or pour cupcake batter into cupcake pan. Stuff one mini Snickers in the center of each muffin, using a spatula to make sure Snickers is covered with cupcake batter.", "Bake cupcakes for about 23 to 28 minutes (on the longer side, up to 5 minutes longer of what is on the back of the instructions for the devil's food cake mix) or until cupcakes seem set.

Once butter melts, increase heat to medium high and let it boil for about 2 minutes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
