Indulge yourself with our irresistible Phoenix Fireball Spicy Candy Cupcakes! Heat up your taste buds with this sweet and spicy treat.
Take note
Caution: These cupcakes are not for the faint of heart! The spiciness level can be adjusted based on your preference, but be prepared for some serious heat. Keep a glass of milk nearby to cool down if needed.
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). This will ensure that your cupcakes bake evenly and to perfection.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix them together until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup of melted butter, 2 large eggs, ½ cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until the batter is smooth.
Now it's time to bring the heat! Crush a handful of Phoenix Fireball Spicy Candy into small pieces. Add the crushed candy to the cupcake batter and gently fold it in. The amount of candy can vary depending on your desired level of spiciness. Remember, the more candy you add, the spicier the cupcakes will be.
Line a cupcake pan with paper liners. Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, fill each liner about two-thirds full with the cupcake batter. This will allow room for the cupcakes to rise without overflowing during baking.
Place the cupcake pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool completely before frosting.
To complement the spicy candy cupcakes, we'll make a smooth and creamy cream cheese frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat 1 package of softened cream cheese, ½ cup of softened butter, and 2 cups of powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated.
Once the cupcakes have cooled, generously frost each one with the cream cheese frosting. This will help balance the heat of the spicy candy with a cool and creamy topping. Feel free to get creative with your frosting technique, adding swirls or sprinkles for an extra festive touch.
Now comes the best part – enjoying your homemade Phoenix Fireball Spicy Candy Cupcakes! Take a bite and prepare for an explosion of flavors. The spiciness from the candy combined with the sweetness of the cupcake and cream cheese frosting creates a truly unique culinary experience. Share with friends and family or keep them all for yourself – we won't judge!
