Steps

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with a cupcake liner. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the gummy bears gently into the batter. Divide the batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. (Optional: sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the batter.) Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
