Easter Cupcake Surprise

A new twist on a fun favorite…

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups whole milk
• 24 small chocolate eggs, unwrapped

 Directions

•  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)
• Grease 24 muffin cups or place 24 paper liners into muffin tray.
• Sift together: flour, salt, and baking powder into a small bowl and set aside.
• Cream together: brown sugar, white sugar and margarine (or butter) until light and fluffy. 
• Add eggs to the cream mixture - one at a time.
• Add vanilla to cream mixture.
• Add flour mixture and milk to the cream mixture - adding a little at a time and alternating between the two. Do not over-mix.
• Fill the muffin cups about 1/3 full, then add a chocolate egg in the middle of the muffin cup.
• Add more of the muffin mixture until each cup is about 2/3 full.
• Bake in preheated oven for approximately 18 to 20 minutes or until muffins are golden brown.

 Pro Tips

•  Decorate with additional chocolate eggs, Peeps, and other candy
• Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them, as hot cupcakes can quickly melt frosting and other candies
