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!
