Chocolate Truffle Cupcakes

I also made a bunch of cupcakes for the party last night.  This is one that I just kind of came up with on my own.  I got a lot of those Lindt Lindor truffles for Christmas, probably because everyone knows how much I love chocolate, but I just can’t eat them all and keep … Continue reading
