CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH NUTELLA-KAHLUA GANACHE AND FERRERO ROCHE



Chocolate Cupcakes With Nutella-Kahlua Ganache and Ferrero Roche image

These cupcakes are so chocolaty and decadent. The Nutella-Kahlua ganache is so tasty that you will find yourself trying to not eat it all before you top the cupcakes. Note: If you would rather a thicker icing, as opposed to a glaze, simply reduce the amount of Nutella to 4 oz, allow the ganache to cool and beat it for several minutes until it becomes thick.
