Rolo Cupcakes Recipe

For the next few weeks I will be stepping out of the kitchen to allow some of my friends to showcase their yummy recipes. Frugal Cooking has the image of being tasteless or “yucky.” Amanda, at One Momma Saving Money, shatters that myth with her Rolo Cupcakes.

Ingredients:
1 bag of Rolos unwrapped (I purchase mine after the holidays and freeze) I counted out 48 for the cupcakes (24 inside, 24 on top) and then used the remaining to drizzle.
1 chocolate cake mix ( plus oil, eggs, water)
1 can of Butter cream frosting


Directions:
Make cake mix according package and spoon into cupcake liners just like normal.
 Press one Rolo in each cupcake and then bake according to box. 
 When you remove them from the oven, you will notice a divot from the Rolo sinking, don’t worry the frosting will cover it. 
 Frost cupcakes to your liking.
 I then heated the remaining handful of Rolos on low heat, constantly stirring until melted. I quickly drizzled on the top of each cupcake. I had to place the pan on the warm burner a couple times to get it to melted again between drizzles. 
 Then top each on with a Rolo!

When you bite in side you will be treated with ooey gooey caramel!

Cost breakdown:
Butter cream frosting can: $1.65
Cake Mix $1.09 (oil,eggs, water had on hand)
Rolos: $1.50 for a bag (I buy Rolos and Hershey Kisses on clearance after Holidays and freeze)
Liners: $.62
Cost to make 24 cupcake: $4.86 = $.20 a cupcake
