M&M Cupcakes

So I'm not making cupcakes as much as id like to at the moment mainly because i have two kids under the age of five so i don't have much time anymore and the other reason is I'm trying to loose a few kgs of baby weight so that means a NO cupcake diet!
But yesterday i did have a wee bit of time so i asked my hubby what kind of cupcakes he would like and he came up with M&M cupcakes . so i searched good ol Google and discovered this recipe, i got 10x texas sized cupcakes out of this mix but i would recommend using standard cupcake papers as these cakes were very sweet and hubby said it was a wee bit too much in the larger texas size
