CRUNCH Coat Cupcakes

One of my absolute FAVORITE things about summer is...wait for it....ICE CREAM! Duh...right? We make weekly trips to our local Dairy Queen...and it was during one of those recent visits that I had the MOST AMAZING brain wave ;)

I love, as-in {LOVE} Crunch Cones from the DQ. I hope you know what I'm talking about, but sadly...I've come to learn that Crunch Coat topping is not a staple topping item at ALL DQs...this is a TRAVESTY! No..JOKE! If you are lucky enough to have experienced Crunch Coat firsthand...then you KNOW what the big deal is.

I've loved Crunch Coat since I was a little girl...it's a delicious peanut-brittle-like, sprinkle mixture...you can add it to sundaes, blizzards, on top of cones...or one of my personal faves...use it as a dip for your Dilly Bars (Cherry is BEST)...really...I think it would be good on just about anything...and YES...I do mean ANYTHING!

Naturally...since I often think in terms of CUPCAKES....I thought, what could be better than topping some yummy, simple VANILLA CUPCAKES with a heaping coat of CRUNCH topping??? The end result was FRICKIN' FANTASTIC! I'm not trying to toot my own horn here...but you know when they say that simple ideas are the BEST ideas? Well this would be a PERFECT example of that....SWEET, SIMPLE, DELICIOUSNESS!

So...let me introduce you to my VANILLA CRUNCH COAT CUPCAKES....drool away!



Peace OUT!

  11. Wish I lived closer to you! I am in northern Indiana. My boyfriend's birthday is next week and he LOVES crunch coat. These would be perfect because I didn't feel like buying a 6 lb. bag of the stuff online elsewhere. But I can totally understand the note on your Etsy store about not shipping during the summer. I suppose cupcakes wouldn't last long in this heat. :) I will have to check out your website/store again in the cooler months.

    1. Check with your local DQ...most of them will sell some to you in the Blizzard Cups for just a few dollars! It would definitely be enough to get you by :)
