I only wish that I had come up with this recipe, I found this recipe and it’s to DIE FOR! Give it a try…. Make them and tell me what you think….

Chocolate Ganache Cupakes

adapted from Ina Garten’s Chocolate Ganache Cupcake recipe
makes 12 regular cupcakes or 24 mini cupcakes

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 16 ounce can Hershey’s chocolate syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup all purpose flour

for the chocolate ganache:
melt together
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream

for the white chocolate ganache:
melt together
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream

Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time. Mix in the chocolate syrup and vanilla. Add the flour and mix until combined. Scoop the batter into muffin cups (we used my mini cheesecake pan) and bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until set. Dip the tops of the cupcakes in the ganache and let set on a wire rack.
