Chocolate Fudge Dipped Cupcakes

 

It was our little Maclayne's third birthday a week and a half ago and she requested 1 friend over for her celebrations. 

So cute! Cannot believe my baby is 3!

We had cake and opened gifts as a family on her actual day. 

For her little lunch date the following week, I decided to make mini cupcakes and dip them in chocolate fudge! 

Just for something different , because yes there is such a thing as too much cake!

So...make a batch of mini cupcakes and allow them to cool a little. I used a wooden skewer to dip them into the hot fudge and roll in 100's and 1000's. 

You need to be pretty quick about it though, don't let your fudge cool too quickly or the dipping process will be too difficult.

Chocolate Fudge Recipe 

(Edmonds Cookbook)

2 Cups Sugar

2 Tablespoons Cocoa

1/2 Cup Milk

25g (0.9 ounces) Butter

1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence

Mix sugar and cocoa in a saucepan, add milk and butter. Heat gently, stirring until the sugar has dissolved and butter melted. Bring to the boil, do not stir. Let mixture boil until the soft ball stage. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Leave to stand for 5 minutes. Beat with a wooden spoon until thick. Pour into a buttered tin. Cut into squares when cold.

For the purposes of dipping the cupcakes - I didn't allow the fudge to cool and I didn't beat it till it was thick. When I had done the cupcakes - I finished the process and the kids had a few squares of fudge too.

 

They. Are. So. Good!!!

Try them...soon!
