Description

A great way to have fun with your family and friends.

Ingredients

  • 12 whole Yellow Starbursts
  • 1 can (16 Oz. Can) White Frosting
  • 12 whole Baked Cupcakes
  • 1 bottle (11.75 Oz. Bottle) Caramel Sauce

Preparation

Cut the yellow Starburst into a 1-inch square.

Spread the vanilla frosting on the cupcakes, mounding it slightly. Use a small spoon to create a well in the center of the frosting. (Next time, I would also ice the sides all the way to the bottom of the cupcake to give it a “heaping mound” look.)

Place the Starburst in the well at an angle. Heat the caramel sauce for 2 – 4 seconds in the microwave and drizzle it on top of the cupcake so that it fills the well and spills over like gravy.

So cute and quick and easy to make. I put the starburst in the microwave for a minute and flattened.. and threw together some homemade caramel sause I sed the vegan caramel sauce calling for butter or olive butter..( I used regular butter so technically not vegan) quick easy and delcious.. every last drip will get eaten. Will be making these over and over YUM
