For the frosting:

2 sticks butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Making the Cupcakes

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup cupcake pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.

In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, eggs, oil, and sour cream until smooth. Gently fold in the crushed pretzels. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 of the way full with the batter.

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.

Making the Frosting

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until smooth. Slowly add in the heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Gently fold in the crushed pretzels. Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.

Enjoy!
