MMMMMMMMmmmmmm... Is All I can Say!

Ok! Here I am with my much anticipated weekly recipe!  And let me tell you I think it was worth the wait!  I have to thank R.T. for sharing this recipe with me a while back! So thank you R.T.

This recipe is super easy at that!  The worst part is the expense of the ingredients. But it's still not too bad...

Ok.. This particular pic is not of mine.. But in all honesty mine did actually look like this!


Here is the recipe!

Chocolate Syrup Cupcakes from Ina Garten

• 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 large eggs, at room temperature
• 11 fluid ounces Hershey's chocolate syrup
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour

Line muffin pans with 15 paper liners. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time. Mix in the chocolate syrup and vanilla. Add the flour and mix until just combined. Don't overbeat, or the cupcakes will be tough. Scoop the batter into the muffin cups and bake for 30 minutes, or until just set in the middle. Don't overbake! Let the cupcakes cool thoroughly in the pan.
Makes 15 cupcakes.

Frosting!

1 jar of 13 oz Nutella ( It only took me about half the jar-- but it depends on how much you prefer)
15 Ferrero Rocher Candies

Once your Cupcakes are cooled thoroughly, you are then going to use a pearing knife and make a shallow well in the top of each cupcake.  Once you have done that, pipe the nutella into the hole and allow some over flow.  You want it to overflow so that when you add the candy the excess pushes outward. (like the pic above)  Once you have done that just top with the candies and.. there you have it!

Notes and Reviews:

I like the simplicity of this cupcake.  Even though it's simple the flavor is just... WOW!!!  Just remember when you make these, and it says to just combine, you will notice your batter looks a little clumpy when you start spooning into the pan.. not to worry.. it still bakes correctly.  I add that little tidbit, because I was worried something was wrong with mine.  These are much sweeter than the first chocolate cupcake I made, very rich and decadant (in my opinion).

These are a chocolate lover's heaven!
