Chocolate Dipped Cupcakes




This Chocolate Dipped Cupcakes Recipe came from a childhood memory. When I was a kid growing up in Southern California, we would head up to Big Bear for skiing and mountain fun. One of the big treats would be a stop at Belloti’s Bakery for Million Dollar Ding Dongs.

Chocolate cupcake, a mile high spiral of fluffy white icing, all covered with a shell of milk chocolate. I could eat an embarrassing amount of them. (This might go a long way to explaining my inability to fit into a bikini…)

So… now I’m all grown up (hahahaha) and living in Northern California, too far to make a trip to Belotti’s… so I have to come up with a recipe for my own dipped cupcakes.

It took a few tries (thanks to all my taste testers out there!) But I think I may have gotten it.

Added bonus… I made some Mini Chocolate Dipped Cupcakes too… Just pop one in your mouth, and the flavor explodes…YUM!!

….

Serve your Cupcakes in Style!

To Fill the Center of the Cupcake with Frosting
Stick the Tip of the Pastry Bag into the Cupcake
Squeeze the pastry bag to get the Frosting in to the cupcake. Just a quick squeeze…(If you’ve exploded a cupcake, you’ll know how much is too much.)

I frosted Cupcakes to look like this… just a quick swirl. If you don’t have a pastry bag… you can slather it on with a knife, and skip filling the cupcakes.

Now…. put the cupcakes on a tray or baking pan, and set them in the freezer.

Make sure the frosting is FROZEN… or you’ll make a mess
