Time 1h5m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (15.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix
1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup water
4 large eggs
4 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, chopped
6 small peppermint candy canes, crushed, divided
1 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 30 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Beat cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, water, and eggs for cupcakes with a mixer on low speed until moistened. Beat on medium speed for 2 more minutes.
  • Stir in chopped chocolate and 2 tablespoons of the crushed candy canes. Reserve remaining crushed candy for the topping. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 20 to 23 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  • Melt chocolate square for topping in a microwave-safe bowl in a microwave, 10 to 20 seconds.
  • Frost cooled cupcakes with whipped topping. Drizzle with melted chocolate and top with remaining crushed candy canes.
