Meth or cupcakes; it’s hard to say which is more addictive! Give your guests the best of both worlds with this simple and fun treat.

Use the recipe for blue 'meth' crunch and add some on top of your cupcakes.

For the cupcakes

For the buttercream frosting

Find yourself a suitable cooking area: an RV, laundromat super-lab, or fake pest-control business, depending on what stage of the plotline you’re at.
Preheat the oven to 350F/180C/165C fan assisted/gas mark 4.Line a 12-hole muffin pan with paper cups.
Put all the cake ingredients except the colour and milk into a large bowl and beat with a handheld electric mixer or wooden spoon until light and fluffy.
Add blue colour little by little until the mix is a strong blue. Add enough milk to give a ‘dropping’ consistency.
Divide the mix into the paper cups.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until well risen, golden brown and firm to the touch. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the buttercream frosting: beat the butter in a large bowl until soft. Gently add half the confectioners’ sugar and beat until smooth.
Add the remaining confectioners’ sugar with a little milk, adding more as necessary to make a light fluffy icing.
Add the yellow food colouring little by little and mix until well combined.
Spoon the icing into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle and pipe swirls onto the cupcakes. Add shards of blue 'meth' crunch to complete the look.
