Chocolate Truffle Cupcakes

1. 1

   Preheat oven as per the directions on the cake mix box. Line cupcake pans with cupcake liners and spray lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare cake mix as per directions on box, adding the dry pudding mix before beating the regular 2 minutes. Fold in 1 cup of the mini chocolate chips last and spoon into the prepared cupcake pans. (I have also used mini muffin pans to make mini cupcakes.) Bake as directed.

3. 3

   After the cupcakes have cooled, place the remaining 1 cup of mini chocolate chips in a glass or metal bowl. Heat the heavy cream to almost a boil and pour over the chips. Whisk until smooth and set aside for 5 minutes. Whisk again and dip the tops of the cupcakes into the ganache. Let dry a few minutes and dip again. You can garnish the top of the cupcakes with a sprinkle of the chips if you like.

4. 4

   Use extra ganache to dip fruit, cake, fingers, spoons, etc. You can also feel free to lick the pan clean. I must also warn you that these are very addictive and you may have a fight on your hands for the extra ganache!
