Prepare cupcakes according to directions on cake mix package. Let cupcakes cool completely.
Using a sharp knife, cut a circle out on top of the cupcake. Make your cut go about halfway into the cupcake. Remove the cake chunk and fill the hole with fudge frosting (I used two spoons to scoop the frosting into the hole). Invert the cupcake chunk on top of the fudge frosting -- you want the extra cake to be sticking up.
Prepare the buttercream frosting: Mix together all the ingredients and beat on medium for three minutes, until fluffy. Transfer frosting into a piping bag and pipe frosting on top of the cupcakes, covering the cake chunk. Let the frosting set up for 30 minutes.
While the frosting is setting up, crush the Butterfingers in the food processor until completely pulverized.
Combine chocolate chips and oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for one minute. Stir and continue to heat at 30 second intervals until completely melted. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before using. (You might want to do this in two batches so the chocolate doesn't harden while you dip the cupcakes.)
Dip the frosted cupcakes into the chocolate -- I used a spoon to hold the frosting into place to make sure it didn't fall off the cupcake. Immediately coat the cupcake with the pulverized Butterfingers -- just smash it all over the chocolate. Repeat until all cupcakes are dipped and covered.
Refrigerate approximately 1 hour to allow the chocolate to set up.

My son James is moving in with me, and preparing to start technical school in January. For the past couple of months, I’ve been keeping his dog, Gus, for him until he moves in.
Gus is quite a character. He’s part Rat Terrier, part Chihuahua, and weighs about 15 pounds, friendly to everyone. His favorite sleeping place is on top of my sofa, like a cat; in fact, James teases him all the time about it. This photo was taken of him by my girlfriend in just such a pose. Enjoy!
