Beer and Pretzel Cupcake

August 27, 2017 By Dane McGregor 1 Comment

Cupcakes don’t always have to be bright and covered in sprinkles and glitter. Not that anything is wrong with that, however for this recipe I wanted to put together a cupcake with a more muted colour palette and incorporate an aspect of masculinity for the guys out there.

When thinking about a delicious flavour combo to get you curiously salivating and get the girls AND guys excited, I decided that there was nothing more blokey than beer and pretzels. So here you have it, a light beer and chocolate flavoured cake, topped with cream cheese frosting and crammed packed with salty pretzels. These contrast of flavours need to be added to your bucket list and made for any event where you want to impress a beer or chocolate lover!

This just in, I made all of these ones myself. Also, If you saw on the telly, @griffinsbiscuits featured on an episode of TVNZ 2’s Snack Masters, where the iconic ToffeePops took centre stage for the food gurus to recreate this kiwi classic. 

Griffins challenged me to try making them from the comfort of my own home too, consider it ‘Snack Masters at Home - Dane Edition’. Obviously I accepted the challenge to recreate their ToffeePops here at home and I’m pretty impressed with how they turned out.

Now if you have a craving for ToffeePops, it’s also good to know their perfectly proportioned bikkies are still kiwi made and smothered in 5 roll refined and Rainforest alliance certified chocolate. Now that’s worth all that toffee goodness!

How much do you love ToffeePops?
