Hot Cocoa Chocolate Cupcakes

Hot Cocoa Chocolate Cupcakes

I know I am a little early to have these Hot Cocoa Chocolate Cupcakes decorated for Christmas already but I just couldn’t help myself. These cupcakes actually started out as something else. I thought I saw the coolest thing ever to make cupcakes with at Joanne’s the other day. It was from Wilton and was designed to make cupcakes in 2 colors or flavors, called the Two Tone Cupcake Insert. I thought I would take it a step further and add cheesecake with Snickers in the middle with this delicious hot cocoa chocolate cupcake. It did not work, well the first 3 did, kind of. Then the batter didn’t want to go into the paper liners and I sure wasn’t going to stop and wash it after each use which is what I would of had to do. So instead I switched modes and went to this Christmas chocolate cupcake instead. To be fair I am going to try the cupcake insert again with just cake batter next time. Maybe with a cake from a cake mix it will work just fine, I’ll let you know.
