Yup, I am totally still on the Reindeer kick and now, I am working on Blitz’s story…he’s Russian! He inspired these Chocolate Rudolph Cupcakes and I had to get these out of my head to see the end of the story come to the page.
Makes 12 cupcakes
You will need:
1 box of triple chocolate Cake mix
3 eggs
1/2 C (1 stick) of softened unsalted sweet cream butter
1 1/4 C whole milk
cupcake liners
cupcake pan
1 package of Ghiradelli milk chocolate melting wafers
1 package of black candy melts
1 box of M&M’s only using the red ones
1 package of large edible candy eyes
1 cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
1 disposable piping bag
1 edible marker
Directions for cupcakes:
Preheat oven to 350 and line cupcake pan with the liners
In a medium bowl, combine the cake mix, butter, and milk and mix until combined
Using a medium ice cream scoop, scoop the batter into the cupcake liners and fill about 3/4 of the way full
Bake in the oven for about 21 minutes
Pull out and place on the side to cool
Using a double boiler melt the black candy melts
Once melted, pour into piping bag and set aside
Using an edible marker, gently draw an outline of 24 antlers on parchment paper
Cut off the tip of the piping bag and pipe out the antlers
Place antlers in the fridge to “harden”
Wash out the candy melts and dry before melting the milk chocolate wafers
Once melted, dip the cupcake into the chocolate
Carefully shake off excess chocolate
Dip remaining 11 cupcakes into the chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes before placing on the face
Place a red M&M into the center for the reindeers nose
Place two large edible eyes above the nose in the corner
Using a sharp knife, make a indention into the cupcake where the antlers go
Carefully peel off the antlers from the parchment paper and slide into the indention
Repeat steps with remaining cupcakes
Enjoy!
