At the weekend Hannah and I did some baking experiments 
this week we decided to add crushed sweets and chocolate beans to our baking ingredients to see how they would turn out.
Hannah prepared the cupcake mix using butter, sugar, eggs and flour, and then we started to blend Fruity Polos in the mini mixer.
The polos did stick together very quickly and had to be scraped out of the mixer before being placed on a plate.
We then crushed the chocolate beans in the mixer; however, we only managed to scrape some of the shell off, and they didn't split how I thought they would.
Once the sweets were pre-blended, Hannah split the cupcake mix into the cupcake cases, and then we sprinkled the crushed polos and chocolate beans into the cake batter before placing in the oven for baking.
Once baked, we removed them from the oven and placed on a wire rack to cool.
Here are the results!
We found that the polos bound together, sank to the bottom and turned into a polo jam and the chocolate beans distributed through the batter and added bits of chocolate and colour to the cake.
Experiment over, we have learned something and still have cake to eat at the end of it!
