I recently teamed up with smart sweets! If you have not heard of this amazing company I definitely recommend googling them up! Local Vancouver company that is changing the world of candy!
My cupcakes are topped with a healthy version of gummy bears…… Yes that’s right gummy bears! On their own,they are so delicious and very addicting! But the bonus of these guys is they are high in fiber, no artificial colors or flavors , free from sugar alcohols, corn fiber, peanut and tree nut free! So I decided why not top this epic cupcake with more tasty goodness!

Method Base of Cupcake:
In large mixing bowl, use electric mixer and blend cooked sweet potato & Crisco. Slowly add in remainder of dry ingredients. Mixture will not be liquidy it should be a thicker consistency. Scoop mixture into individual cupcake tins. Make sure you line your tins with a tinfoil cupcake wrapper. I prefer A tinfoil cupcake wrapper because it doesn’t stick like paper wrappers do. Preheat oven to 350 and bake for 25 minutes . Cupcake should be a light golden brown on top, use toothpick to make sure their dents in the middle. Let cool for 30 minutes before frosting.

Let cupcakes for at least Half an hour prior to frosting. Top with as many gummy bears as you like!
