Cereal Poke Cupcakes Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Line a 12-cup muffin tin with foil cupcake liners. Fill ¼ of the way full with the cake batter. You want the baked cupcakes to not quite reach the top edge of the wrapper.
• Bake the cupcakes according to the package instructions. Remove from the oven at the lower end of what the box recommends, or when a toothpick poked into a cupcake comes out clean.
• In a gallon zip-top bag, crush the cereal into small crumbs.
• In a large bowl, combine the cereal crumbs and melted butter.
• Using the end of a wooden spoon or spatula, poke holes in the cupcakes.
• Fill the holes with the sweetened condensed milk.
• Top the cupcakes with the cereal crumb mixture and pack down with a spoon, creating a uniform crust.
• Individually wrap the cupcakes in plastic wrap.
• Chill the cupcakes in a cooler or the refrigerator until ready to eat.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine cake mix and 2 tablespoons of the instant espresso powder. Prepare and bake the cake according to the package directions for a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Cool completely on a wire rack. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke 25 holes in the cake (make 5 rows of 5).
• Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, pudding mix, 1/2 cup of the heavy cream and 1/2 cup liqueur in a medium bowl for 2 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes for the pudding to set.
• Meanwhile, stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons liqueur and remaining 1 tablespoon espresso powder in a small bowl until the powder dissolves. Whip the remaining 1 1/2 cups heavy cream together with the confectioners' sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Add the espresso liqueur mixture and whip just to incorporate.
• Spread the pudding mixture over the top of the cake, making sure the holes get filled completely. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface. Chill at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
• About 30 minutes before serving, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until soft. Let cool slightly. Drizzle over the top of the cake, then sprinkle with the chopped espresso beans and serve cold.

Steps:

• Bake a chocolate cake with your recipe of choice in a 9x13 pan
• Use the bottom of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly throughout the cake. I usually end up poking 20-25 holes.
• Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over top of the cake, aiming to fill up the holes.
• Scrape the hot fudge into a medium bowl. Add the 1/4 cup peanut butter. Microwave for 30 seconds. Mix until smooth and spread over the cake.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp peanut butter with the cool whip (I use a hand mixer here, but it's not a big deal to do it by hand).
• Spread the peanut butter cool whip over top.
• Chill for at least 4 hours (overnight is really best).
• Top with chopped Reese's cups and Reese's Pieces (you can add these before chilling, but the Reese's Pieces candy coating will bleed onto the cool whip when chilled).
• Serves approximately 12 (large pieces).

Steps:

• Prepare cake batter and bake as directed on package for 24 cupcakes; cool 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, measure 1/4 cup of the dry gelatin into small bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup of the boiling water 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Add cold water. Cut small "X" in center of each cupcake with sharp knife. Carefully pour gelatin evenly over cupcakes. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, stir remaining 1/4 cup boiling water into remaining dry gelatin in small bowl 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Cool.
• Beat butter in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add sugar alternately with the gelatin, beating until well blended after each addition. (Add a small amount of hot water if the frosting is too stiff.) Spread frosting onto cupcakes. Store in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Spray 22 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray. In large microwavable bowl, microwave butter uncovered on High about 45 seconds or until melted.

• Immediately add cereals and peanuts; stir until evenly coated. Firmly press about 1/3 cup cereal mixture into each muffin cup. Cool about 1 hour or until firm. Pipe cupcake icing on each cupcake; sprinkle with decors. Store loosely covered.
