ULTIMATE DEATH BY CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

Death by Chocolate Cupcakes are a rich, moist chocolate cupcake with a gooey chocolate ganache filling, topped with chocolate frosting, chocolate sprinkles, a creamy ganache drizzle and adorned with chocolate accents.

I have to say, these were so much fun to make. However, with these death by chocolate cupcakes, I was worried if all of the chocolate elements would possibly be too much chocolate.

Then, I laughed.

Because is there such a thing as too much chocolate?


As simple as it sounds, I am learning more and more as I go that everything doesn’t have to be ‘by the book’. You can get as creative as you want with recipes and play with different combinations to see what works and what doesn’t when it comes to recipe development.

Regular chocolate cupcakes are perfect on their own, but how fun would it be to have a chocolate cupcake with layers upon layers of chocolatey goodness?

With that said, I began perusing through my baking supplies to see what fun creations I could pull together,  I gathered the essentials (flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cocoa and vanilla) and set them out along with a mixing bowl, handheld mixer, measuring cups and measuring spoons. I pulled some chocolate sprinkles, chocolate curls, chocolate melts, and cocoa out and set them to the side.
