For the icing:

  • Cream together butter and cream cheese.
  • Slowly add powdered sugar.
  • Add caramel and vanilla.
  • Add milk until you reach the right consistency for piping or spreading.
  • Taste. If you would like a more intense caramel flavoring add more.
  • Pipe the cooled cupcakes with frosting
  • Enjoy! These may be garnished with more snickers and caramel.

Notes

I added two snickers because the first time I made these with one,
I did not get a strong snickers flavor.
I wanted it to be very prominent.So I added another.
Also we in our house do not like an overly sweet frosting.
So I added the cream cheese.
This can be omitted and increase your butter and powdered sugar.
