These Halloween Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes are soft and chewy and great to bring for any Trick or Treat Party! 

Halloween is around the corner and if you are like me, you are probably scrambling to come up with something fun and easy.  I joined with #CollectiveBias to share with  you a fun and easy recipe using candy I got from Walmart!  Also don’t forget to check out Flavorful Moments for more creative ideas!

I have always enjoyed eating Nestle Crunch, however my parents limited all the chocolate candy I ate growing up. So that meant whenever I got a chance to eat Nestle Crunch, I ate so much. Oddly enough, I never got tired of eating it.

Growing up, I loved going to birthday parties because I could eat all the candy I want without my parents knowing.  One time at a birthday party, there was a pinata and it was my turn to hit it. Oh boy, I hit it so hard and all the candy went flying everywhere. I threw my bat and grabbed all the candy I could. I didn’t realize I hit another girl and my mom made me give my candy to her. I was so sad because it was all the good candy like Butterfingers and Babe Ruth.

Looking back, I’m very thankful my parents limited all the candy I ate, because now I really enjoy eating it.  One of my favorite things to do with the Nestle Chocolates is bake cupcakes or cookies with them!
