Directions for cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 24 cupcake pans with paper cup liners and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder and soda, and salt. Stir until well combined.
- Add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla to the dry mixture and mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Slowly stir in the hot brewed coffee (batter will have a thin consistency).
- Fill cups 2/3 full with cupcake batter.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean (rotate pans halfway through for best results).
- Let cupcakes cool in pans for 5 minutes before removing them. Completely cool the cupcakes on wire racks before applying the icing.
Directions for frosting
- In a saucepan, melt the butter on low heat. Add brown sugar and bring to a low boil. Stir for one minute.
- Place saucepan in refrigerator to cool for 20 minutes.
- Remove pan from refrigerator and add milk. With an electric mixer, blend until smooth (about 45 seconds).
- Add the powdered sugar a little at a time and beat until light and fluffy.
- Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.
- Top with mini chocolate chips and Heath toffee bits.
- For an extra “autumn” touch, top a Brach's candy pumpkin on top of each cupcake.
