Toffee and vanilla cupcakes


I made these little lovelies with my favourite vanilla cupcake recipe and I added some toffee chunks to the mix before I spooned it into the cases.

Incidentally, I found it pretty tough to find toffee chunks but I finally sourced a mix pack of chocolate and toffee chunks from Somerfield - I just picked out the chunks that I wanted and saved the chocolate ones till another time ;)

For the frosting I made my own (first time not from a can!!!) using one part margarine, two parts cream cheese and three parts icing sugar. It came out a little more runny than I would like so I think next time I'll use unsalted butter instead of margerine, but it still tastes absolutely delicious.

To decorate I bought some toffee sauce and dolloped a big scoop into a zip lock bag, snipped a tiny hole in the corner and piped it out in a grid pattern.

I then gobbled them all down before anyone else got a chance (not really, but almost)!
