Author Laurie Bennett

Ingredients

  • 1 Box Chocolate Cake mix
  • 1 12 Ounce Jar Hot Fudge Ice Cream Topping
  • 2 Sticks Butter Salted or Unsalted as preferred, softened
  • 4 C. Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. REAL Vanilla Extract
  • 4 Tbsp. Milk
  • Hot Fudge Topping
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350* Degrees F. Line muffin tin with baking cups.
  • Prepare the cake batter according to the directions on the package, or according to your own from-scratch recipe.
  • Spoon batter into prepared baking cups.
  • Carefully add one teaspoon of room temperature hot fudge topping on the top of each cupcake.
  • Bake for about 16 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean (test from the edge as the hot fudge will never come out clean on a toothpick).
  • Place on wire racks to cool.
  • Make your frosting by creaming butter and powdered sugar together on low speed. Once incorporated, increase mixer speed and add vanilla extract and milk. Beat on medium for about 2 minutes. If frosting is too stiff, add a little milk. If not stiff enough, add more powdered sugar.
  • Frost cupcakes when cool. Decorate with drizzled hot fudge and sprinkles.
  • Serve and Enjoy!
