I have been wanting to make these cupcakes for months. This recipe comes from one of my favorite blogs, InsideBruCrew Life. She has the most awesome recipes! I saved back a box of Tagalongs with this recipe in mind. Boy, I am so glad I did! These were so so very good and my family has eaten them up. I love the fact that they are made with a box cake mix...saved me some time. If you have a box of Tagalongs stashed away somewhere, you must give these a try!
Enjoy!

Set a cookie on top of the batter in each liner and then finish filling the liner with batter. Fill it at least 3/4 of the way full. Bake 22-24 minutes. Let cool. Frost with Honey Peanut Butter Cream. Add sprinkles and eat!

These look so tasty! Another yummy creation I will have to hide in the pantry to eat by myself so my nut-allergic daughter won't get her hands on them :-) More for me! Thanks for sharing :-)
