Sweetheart Valentine

Author: Kasey Trenum

Ingredients

  • For your cupcakes you will need:
  • 1 box of basic chocolate cake mix
  • 1 box of basic strawberry cake mix
  • For your Homemade Chocolate Butter Cream Icing you will need:
  • 1 stick of butter softened
  • 1 box of confectioner's sugar
  • 1 tblspn of milk
  • 1 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips melted

Instructions

  • First, prepare each box of cake mix as directed per box. Fill a heart shaped cupcake pan (I found one for $3.00 in the dollar section of my local Target store!) with the two mixtures until it is about 3/4 full. You want to leave room for it to rise and expand. When cooked thoroughly, remove and set aside to cool.
  • For your frosting, cream together your butter and confectioners sugar until smooth.
  • Then, stir in 1 TB of milk.
  • Next, melt your chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second intervals, on medium power, until they are melted. Stir carefully between intervals.
  • When they are melted completely, add it to your icing mixture by beating on low for 1 minute.
  • Once your cupcakes are cooled and your topping is made, simply pipe it on or smooth it on with a knife. These sweet treats will be a big hit with your family and friends as they get into the Valentine's Day spirit!
