I don't know about you guys but i find myself baking every couple of days recently! I've just been in the 'comfort baking' zone! 😂 I think of a new recipe and i'm like, "I've got to make it!". These delicious and soft cupcakes are to die for! They're perfect snack and so moreish. I really wanted to create a cupcake that cured both my chocolate craving and that also had that caramel y chewiness to it. Doubling up n chocolate is always a win, because you get that extra rich flavour or added chocolate. Combining that with milk chocolate chips, fudge pieces and hazelnut spread on top.. love! Tastes sooo good and just MELTS in your mouth 😋.

Recipe
~ Makes 12 Cupcakes ~
Prep Time - 10 mins ~ Cook Time - 20-25 mins ~ Total Time - 35 mins
Ingredients for:
Chocolate Muffins:
3/4 cup (95gs) of plain flour
1/2 cup (22gs) of unsweetened natural cocoa powder
3/4 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp of baking soda
1/4 tsp of salt
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup (100gs) of granulated sugar
1/2 cup (100gs) of packed soft light brown sugar
1/3 cup (80mls) of vegetable oil
2 tsps of vanilla bean extract
1/2 cup (120mls) of milk (i used almond milk)
1 cup (100gs) of milk chocolate chips, put a few to the side to decorate with
1 cup (100gs) of fudge chunks, put a few to the side to decorate with
Toppings:
Hazelnut spread, go crazy! 😋
Milk chocolate chips
Fudge chunks
Method:
1. Begin by preheating the oven to 175C/350F. Line a cup cupcake pan with cupcake cases of your choice, i chose black a white polka dot ones. Set aside.
2. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla together until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
3. Using a flat spatula, fold in the milk chocolate chips and fudge pieces. Make sure to leave a few of chocolate chips and fudge chunks to a side for sprinkling on later.
4. Pour or spoon the batter into the liners. Fill only halfway (this is imperative, only halfway) to avoid spilling over the sides or sinking. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
5. Using the back of a teaspoon, generously frost with the hazelnut spread and sprinkle on chocolate chips and fudge pieces.
6. Devour! 😍
