Nutty Chocolate Cookie Cupcakes

Makes: 12

Preparation time:  10 minutes

Cooking time:  15 minutes

Ingredients:

100g unsalted butter, softened

100g caster sugar

100g self-raising flour

2 medium eggs

125g Cadbury Dairy Milk Marvellous Creations Cookie Nut Crunch

75g icing sugar

Cold water

Method:

Preheat oven to Gas 5, 190°C.  Place 12 paper cake cases into a bun tin or onto a baking tray.

Place the butter and sugar into a bowl and mix with an electric whisk until light and fluffy.  Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Fold in the flour.

Spoon half of the mixture into the cake cases.  Break just over half of the chocolate into 12 bite size pieces and place one piece into the center of the cake mix.  Top with the remaining mixture, making sure the chocolate is covered.

Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until well risen and the cakes spring back when touched with the finger.  Cool.

Mix the icing sugar with a few teaspoons of water to make a spreadable icing.  Spread on top of the cakes, chop the remaining chocolate and sprinkle over the icing.
