Our recipe for Strawberry Crunch Cupcakes is a combination of vanilla cupcakes, with delicious icing and topped with Strawberry Crunch. This sweet, yet tangy, recipe is the perfect recipe to bring to the dessert table this summer. 

First, we used a homemade cupcake and icing recipe; however, you can definitely use box mix or storebought cupcakes if you’re pressed for time. 

While our cupcakes were baking, we made our 3-ingredient Strawberry Crunch recipe. This is the perfect topping for ice cream, cakes, cookies, or to even eat alone. We suggest making an extra batch to try on your favorite sweet treats. We also made a delicious homemade buttercream frosting. We suggest using a pipping bag to frost your cupcakes because this will allow you to add more Strawberry Crunch. You can either sprinkle your Strawberry Crunch or dip your cupcake in the bowl. The more Strawberry Crunch, the better!
