Easter Cupcakes With Surprise Inside

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Hershey Company for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Easter is quickly approaching and I love a fun Easter treat to ring in the festivities. Better yet, I love a fun activity to do with the kids! As we get into the Easter spirit, we made these adorable Easter Cupcakes with Surprise Inside!

Easter Cupcakes

Easter Cupcakes using Hershey's chocolate eggsSometimes I see Easter treats on the internet and think, “Those are cute, but I could NEVER pull that off!” Well friends, anyone can pull off these cute cupcakes! They are really easy to make and are perfect for Easter brunch or just a special treat for the kids.

Hershey Kiss Filled Cupcakes

Easter Cupcakes 1I started with making a basic white cupcake batter, filled the tins about 3/4 full and placed one of these Hershey’s Kisses Vanilla Creme Filled Milk Chocolates inside! Easter Cupcakes 2I baked the cupcakes according to the package and then gave them a thick layer of a basic white butter cream frosting (1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup milk, 3-4 cups powdered sugar). Easter Cupcakes 3To create the little ‘nest’, I grated Hershey’s Solid Milk Chocolate Eggs and then sprinkled them on top, more concentrated in the center.

    I love the easy cute look and the surprise inside! I started doing kisses in the center on Valentines day and everyone loves them. Will have to try the white chocolate like you did here. Good job!

It’s the time of year when most of you are putti It’s the time of year when most of you are putting away your outdoor furniture to prepare for the winter… but this is actually when we use our backyard the most! Hot tub nights, dinner outside, computer days at the table and relaxing on the new U-shaped sectional. These are the most perfect fall days. We leave all our furniture out year round, it’s the only furniture I’ll own, no matter the climate.

Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I add a little bit more decor every year and this year all my new Halloween finds are from @grandinroad ! The fun witch legs are my favorite, but I actually love the little skull wreaths so much too. Wait, the light up spider webs on the trees are also the perfect addition. I have to say, this year’s decor definitely takes the win! Almost time for trick or treaters!

Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! W Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! We had these custom gas copper lanterns made by @bevolo to bring the perfect blend of timeless craftsmanship and character to our beautiful stone and brick exterior. 🤎 they are exactly what we envisioned! STUNNING. From the custom design to the warm, flickering glow after dark, every detail works together to create a look that feels both elevated and inviting. 

We couldn’t be happier with how our custom lanterns turned out. They bring the perfect finish touches to our exterior. My favorite part of our house just got even better. The happiness I feel every time I see them flickering in the night ❤️
