The chocolate in the cupcakes seemed raw and not integrated well. It was bitter and dry. I had to melt the frosting more and it never set well. I don't get how the frosting stands up like that in the picture! The toffee hardened like cement in the pan before I spread it. It felt like it was missing something for sure. Would not recommend.

I am writing this just to say that yes, sugar will become liquid. I have an almond brittle recipe that calls for sugar, butter and almonds cooked over a med heat It takes a while but it will liquify.

These are insanely good! I followed the directions precisely and my brittle and frosting turned out perfect. The brittle isn't exactly delicious, but I had never made it before and it was fun to try and looks pretty sprinkled on top of the frosting. I'll definitely make these again. :-

just made the cupcakes of the century. It took forever...I was disappointed with the "brittle"...Not very brittle.....The frosting was way too thick..I didn't have 2 bags of the peanut butter chips so used the remaining butterscotch bits. It was fine, tasted more like a caramel than peanut butter, and that is good.. My daughter will take some to work with her tomorrow. We will see how the medical field feels about all this sweet stuff. All in all, they were really good. Would rather have more of a "brittle" crunched up on top. Next time I will just make peanut-brittle ..I give it 4 stars with reservations. I don't know how to make a half star or it would have been 3 1/2.

So the cupcakes were delicious but with 3 sticks of butter.....I would agree, let the frosting cool at room temperature, using the ice made it get hard prior to the stated time and once it was hard it was too difficult to work with. The brittle was the biggest dissapointment. I had two attempts.... is there something missing from this recipe? Sugar to a boil? Without water? I added 1/4 c. water to the first batch, hardened like concrete in the pot. 1/2 the second attempt and it looked like brittle crumble rather than the smooth cruching looking brittle in the photo. At that point it was cupcakes without the crunch.

I was so excited to try this because I had no idea you could make your own butterfingers. And it was easy and yummy! The cupcakes turned out really good. The frosting didn't go exactly as stated for me. I had to melt the chips a little more in the microwave, and putting the frosting on ice made it too hard. I would just let cool on the counter until spreadable. Thanks for a great recipe! Can't wait to make the brittle for ice cream and fondue!
