  • Add in the Icing Sugar 1/3 at a time, making sure the sugar is fully incorporated. Once all of the Sugar is in the Frosting mix, keep on beating the Frosting but add the melted and slightly cooled Kinder Chocolate – beat again. If its looking a bit stiff, or a bit odd, add a tsp or two of boiling water and continue to beat until smooth.

  • Add your buttercream to the piping bag and pipe on your cakes. Then decorate your cupcakes how you like, I stick in half a bit of kinder bueno each, and sprinkle on some chocolate sprinkles – and ENJOY!

I used some more kinder bueno bars and chocolate sprinkles for the top of the cupcakes. I absolutely love these cupcakes and everyone who tried them loved them as well. You could decorate these cupcakes with anything on the top that has the nice hazelnut taste like the kinder buenos. This recipe gave me the chance to use some new equipment of mine which was my cake mixture scoop  and it is one of the best things I have invested in. It just gives a nice even scoop of mixture into the cupcake cases. You do not have to mess around getting an equal amount of cake mixture in each of the cases, one scoop and its totally even.
