MILK CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH DARK CHOCOLATE ICING

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 (12 cup) cupcake tins with silver foil paper liners.

Place into a plastic releasable bag and cut off the corner. Take a small ice cream scoop and fill each cup with 1 scoop of cake batter, about one-quarter of the way up the cupcake paper. Pipe about 1 tablespoon batter with melted chocolate in each batter-filled cup. Top each with another scoop of the remaining cake batter.

While still slightly warm, dip the tops of the cupcakes in the chocolate icing. Place on a wire cooling rack, sprinkle with dragees, and allow the icing to set.
