Instructions
Scrape frosting from cupcakes.
Save a little bit of frosting and discard the rest.
Using a fork break the cake part of the cupcakes into fine crumbs. Split evenly between 4 bowls.
You'll need 3 cupcakes for each kind of truffles.
Rum Raisin Cupcake Truffles
Soak raisins in 1/4 cup boiling water for a few minutes until raisins are soft and plump.
Drain the water and add rum to raisins.
Add rum-raisin mixture to cupcake crumbs.
Add a spoon of frosting.
Mix really well and chill in the fridge for 5-10 minutes while you are making other cupcake truffles.
Once the mixture is chilled, roll into walnut size balls. About 9-10 truffles. Roll each in icing sugar.
Banana and Pecan Cupcake Truffles
Mash half a banana with a fork really well.
Add cupcake crumbs, cocoa powder, frosting and mix well.
Freeze for about 10 minutes while you are making other cupcake truffles.
Once the mixture firms up a bit, roll into walnut size balls and stuff each with a pecan half. Will make about 9-10 truffles.
These Banana and Pecan Cupcake Truffles are quite soft due to banana, so they'll be a bit messy to make. You can freeze the mixture for longer or use gloves when rolling.
Peanut Butter Cupcake Truffles
Add peanut butter and dry peanut butter powder to cupcake crumbs. Use cocoa powder if you don't have dry peanut butter.
Add frosting.
Mix well.
Roll into walnut size balls. Roll each truffle in crushed peanuts. Makes about 9-10 truffles.
Bailey's Cream Cupcake Truffles
Add Bailey's Cream Liquor to cupcake crumbs and mix well.
Add frosting and mix.
Roll the mixture into walnut size truffles. Roll each in cocoa powder. Makes about 9-10 truffles.
Keep all truffles in the fridge covered. Will keep for about 3-4 days.

Notes
Banana and Pecan Cupcake Truffles are the most soft so you may want to add more cocoa powder if you like firmer truffles or keep them in the freezer.Rum Raising Cupcake Truffles also have more liquid so the mixture needs to be chilled before rolling.Peanut Butter and Bailey's Cupcake Truffles mixtures are firm enough that they don't need to be chilled before rolling.
