Serves: 6
Tools Include: Wilton 3-D Cupcake Candy Mold (http://www.wilton.com/3-d-cupcake-look-container-classic-candy-mold/2115-0001.html)
Ingredients
- ½ cup Wilton Red Candy Melts
- ½ cup Wilton Yellow Candy Melts
- 1 cup Wilton Light Cocoa Candy Melts
- 1 cup Cocoa Puffs
- 3 tbsp. Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips
- 3 tbsp. Pretzel Rods
Instructions
- Complete the following step for the red, yellow, and light cocoa candy melts: A Wilton Candy Melt Pot is recommended to heat candy melts. If you do not own a candy melt pot simply microwave candy melts at 50% for 30 seconds. Stir. Heat at 50% for 30 seconds. Stir. Heat at 50% in 15-second intervals and stir until completely smooth. Do not over heat.
- Fill 3 cupcake bottoms halfway full with light cocoa candy melts.
- Fill 3 cupcake tops halfway full with red candy melts.
- Take second piece of 2-piece mold and snap together. Some candy melts may spread outside of the molds – that is okay.
- Place in freezer for 20 minutes.
- Remove mold from freezer. Gently pop candy melts from mold, breaking away any excess candy melt. Set aside.
- Repeat steps 2 through 6 for the yellow candy melt tops (using light cocoa again for the bottoms).
- In a small mixing bowl, combine cocoa puffs, Reece’s peanut butter chips, and pretzel rods (broken in half).
- Add cocoa puff mixture to each cupcake. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
