WEEKLY RECIPE #1: HOT FUDGE SUNDAY CUPCAKES

Makes: 24 Cupcakes
Preparation: 40 minutes
Bake: 180°C, 16-20 minutes

350 ml hot fudge ice cream topping
500 ml creamy white frosting
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate pieces

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Line twenty-four 6 cm muffin cups with paper bake cups; set aside. Prepare cake mix according to package directions.

3. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched. Cool cupcakes in muffin cups on wire racks for 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from muffin cups. Cool completely on wire racks.
