Whopper Candy Cupcakes - Use Up That Leftover Easter Candy! #recipe
11:41 AM
It never fails. When Easter is over and the boys have rampaged their baskets, some of the candy inevitably finds its way to the bottom of the basket where it stays forever. Well, or until I decide it is time to throw it away. Who knows why this phenomenon happens. Why those Whoppers, jelly beans and occasional foil covered chocolate bunny coins get discarded never to be eaten or enjoyed but they do. So this year, I am on a mission to use those discarded candies with a delicious new cupcake recipe. These Whopper Cupcakes are not only delicious, but they are a great way to use up that leftover Easter candy.
