Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place mini paper baking cup in each of 70 mini muffin cups. Finely chop enough candy to equal 3/4 cup (about 2 bars).
- In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and egg whites with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. On low speed, beat in chopped candy just until blended. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (two-thirds full). Refrigerate any remaining cake batter until ready to use.
- Bake 12 to 16 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Frost cupcakes with frosting. Coarsely chop remaining candy. Place candy pieces on frosting, pressing down slightly. Store loosely covered.

Tips:
- To achieve a rich and decadent chocolate flavor in your cupcakes, use high-quality cocoa powder. A higher percentage of cocoa solids will result in a more intense chocolate taste.
- For a moist and fluffy cupcake, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will incorporate air into the mixture, which will help the cupcakes rise and create a tender crumb.
- Use room temperature ingredients whenever possible. This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and result in a smooth, even batter.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, dense cupcake.
- Bake the cupcakes at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Underbaked cupcakes will be dense and gooey, while overbaked cupcakes will be dry and crumbly.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
- For a smooth and creamy frosting, use a high-quality butter and cream cheese. Beat the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy before adding the powdered sugar.
- To create a fun and festive look, decorate the cupcakes with Butterfinger pieces, chopped peanuts, or chocolate chips.
Conclusion:
With their rich chocolate flavor, moist and fluffy texture, and creamy peanut butter frosting, these Butterfinger cupcakes are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. Follow these tips to ensure your cupcakes turn out perfect every time.
