Mars Bar Cupcakes - A Sweet Farewell

One of our very much valued employees from our store has decided to leave.  After almost 3 years of her hard work and loyalty, she deserved a party to celebrate her time with us.  We threw her a little soiree and I was in charge of bringing something sweet.  

The girls

I sill have cans of home made dulce de leche in the pantry and wanted to use it up.  After browsing the net for uses for it, I came up with with these little beauties.  Mars Bars Cupcakes.  It was perfect.  Small, sweet, sticky and scrummy.

It's very simple to make.  First, find your favourite 

chocolate cake recipe.

Fill the cupcake case half way and then spoon the 

dulce de leche into the middle.

Top up the case with more of the cake batter.

Bake in the oven till cupcakes are cooked through 

Melt chocolate in a  small saucepan and stir till glossy.

Spread the tops of the cup cakes

Decorate with thin slices of Mars  Bars.

Bon Appetite,

Cherrie
