Cadbury Creme Eggs. Gone Wrong.

I was looking for a photo to post to show you the delicious goodness that is the Cadbury Creme Egg and I stubbled upon a recipe to turn my favorite candy into a cupcake! Dear Gawd. Wrong on so many levels.
 I'm so in love with this candy that I have given it up for Lent and I am not even Catholic. I'm straight up addicted.  Here's the recipe:

Cadbury Creme Egg Muffins


2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/3 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
12 mini Cadbury creme eggs (not full size)



Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, melted butter and vanilla until smooth. Whisk in milk.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Evenly distribute muffin batter into prepared pan. Place 1 mini Cadbury creme egg in the center of each muffin. You can use a small knife to pull a bit of batter over the top of the mufin, if you like.

Bake for 14-16 minutes, until the top of the muffin springs back when lightly pressed and the edges are a light gold.

Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Makes 12.
