Toffee Crunch Cupcake

Its decadence meets gluttony-but should a cupcake be anything else but that? Toffee Crunch Cupcakes If you haven’t noticed by now, I don’t have a subtle hand when it comes to cupcake decorating. I like my cupcakes loud, obnoxious, over stuffed, overfilled, and over frosted-basically over the top. When I say opposite, I’m not a loud a person, I’m about as a loud as 5 foot tall person and cat pieced together can be. As for the over frosted-WAY not me.
