Bake at 350 for about 18-22 minutes.
Allow to cool before adding frosting.
Caramel Buttercream Icing
Cream the butter, caramel topping, and salt in your stand mixer.
Add the powdered sugar. Mix until you have the desired consistency
Place the frosting into a piping bag with your favorite tip. Pipe onto the cupcakes once they are cooled.

Notes
I just saved a bit of my morning coffee to use. You can always warm it up in the microwave. If you are not a coffee drinker, simply use 1/2 cup water.
Place your SNICKERS® Peanut Butter Squares in the fridge while you make the frosting. This will allow you to get a nice clean cut.
