FERRERO ROCHER CUPCAKES

Ingredients
1 recipe chocolate cupcakes (use a box mix or your favorite chocolate cupcake recipe)
1 (13 oz.) jar Nutella hazelnut spread
15 Ferrero Rocher chocolates

Directions
Using a small paring knife, cut a small piece (about 1-inch in diameter and 1-inch deep) from the center of each cooled cupcake.  Fill each cupcake with 1 tablespoon of Nutella. Top off each cupcake with a Ferrero Rocher candy, slighting pressing into the Nutella so it stays put. Store cupcakes at room temperature in an airtight container.

Let's Dish
When I first saw these cupcakes over at Lick the Bowl Good, I couldn't believe my eyes! When I showed them to my 10 year-old as a possible birthday treat, his jaw nearly hit the floor. We made ours with a chocolate cake mix, and they were delicious.  Next time though, I think I'll use the cupcake recipe Monica did, a chocolate syrup cupcake from Ina Garten.  You need a dense, moist cupcake to hold all that Nutella and the Ferrero Rocher chocolate.  If you want to impress your family and friends without spending hours in the kitchen baking, I highly recommend these cupcakes.  Oh, and don't forget, you can eat all those cupcake insides too. You wouldn't want to waste perfectly good bits of chocolate cake!

Who Dished It Up First

I'm so glad you made these. I highly recommend you make the chocolate syrup cupcakes though- they're sticky and dense and not too chocolatey but they really compliment the candy well.

Happy birthday to your son! I'm quite sure he was happy with these beautiful cupcakes.
