Happy Valentine's Day Cupcakes

I made these Valentine's Day cupcakes for a charity event my aunt was putting on. It was a great cause so I was glad to help. These are chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream. They are topped with a variety of Valentine's Day candy. I picked up the adorable boxes at Dollarama (it's all about presentation!). Here are some photos:

Hide-n-Seek Chocolate Cupcakes

 

 

My brother LOVES chocolate and I LOVE cupcakes so I decided to compromise. Using a Wilton chocolate mould, I was able to shape the melted chocolate into these cute little cupcakes. The mould creates cavities that allow you to fill the inside with different types of candies.

You will need:

- milk chocolates
- coloured melting chocolates
- Wilton's Chocolate Cupcake Mould
- bowls and spoons
- candy for filling (optional)


Directions:

1. Separate the chocolates into bowls.

2. Microwave chocolates until completely melted and smooth.

3. Pour chocolate into the cavities and press sides firmly to be sure all chocolate is evenly distributed.

4. Place in the refrigerator for approximately 10 minutes or until the mould looks frosty.

5. Carefully pop out harden chocolate.

6. Fill with treats.

They are very simple to make, but they are time consuming and the chocolate cracks easily. The chocolate needs time to properly harden and cool. I probably made ten, but only five turned out.
