Fill your liners about 1/2 full or 3 Tbsp worth. Gently push a frozen snickers down into the bottom of the batter and smooth the surface making sure to cover the candy bar with batter.

Slowly add in powdered sugar until all 1 1/2 lbs have been mixed in. Add vanilla and 4 Tbsp heavy cream. (you can substitute with milk if you don't have heavy cream on hand) If you feel that you frosting is still too thick after the 4 Tbsp of cream have been added feel free to add more cream 1 Tbsp at a time until a desired consistency is reached. Pipe frosting onto cupcakes and garnish with chopped up Reese's.
