chocolate malt cupcakes (aka whopper cupcakes)
(2 ratings)
This recipe came from a Carnation flyer several years ago. These cupcakes are delicious, especially if you like chocolate malt as much as my family does! I added the Whopper candy on top of the finished cupcake. It seemed like a natural but, of course, its optional. Picture is clip art.
