Baked by Melissa teamed up with Ferrero to introduce its first candy bar-inspired cupcake collection, made to delight all ages with a sweet tooth, with flavors featuring candy bars infused into the cake, stuffing, icing, or used as toppings.
This Baked by Melissa cupcake collection is for fans of Butterfinger, CRUNCH, Baby Ruth, and 100 Grand, and it also points candy bar lovers to the launch of two new, limited-time flavors: CRUNCH White and Butterfinger Marshmallow.
This sweet new cupcake collection is launching just ahead of spooky season, and for a limited time in September, customers can pick up all six flavors in a Candy Bar Cupcakes 25-pack. Exclusively in stores, there's also a Candy Bar Cupcakes 12-pack, perfect for fall snacking and sharing.
