My latest addiction has been making cupcakes using our favourite chocolate bars. I recently made Reese’s Peanut Butter Cupcakes and they were a hit. I saw the Skor Toffee Bits in the baking aisle at the grocery store and thought they would be good melted on top of a chocolate cupcake. Add some chopped up Skor bars to the cupcake batter and you have a divine tasting batch of Skor Cupcakes.

They are really simple to make. I used a Swiss Chocolate cake mix, but you could use any kind of chocolate cake mix you have on hand. They are so rich and if you are having a chocolate craving eat one of these. Sweet and satisfying!
