So like I mentioned... I was planning on using Amy's vanilla recipe and adding semi-sweet chocolate chips. Done right?
NOT.
A family friend mentioned the idea of using a Hershey's kiss... Placing it in the center. As a surprise? Quite the thought.
I tested this suggestion this afternoon. I used the vanilla recipe as planned and baked three variations. 1. placing the hershey kiss first, before baking. 2. adding the hershey kiss at the baking midpoint. 3. just adding chocolate chips.
And then mid way through I inserted the kisses into empty batter. See?
Putting the kiss in the center was brilliant! In my opinion it was best to start with the chocolate placed in the cupcake first, making it soft in the center for eating. The midway kiss was still on the harder side.
So this might not work for this particular job... I think if I was a little boy I would be more impressed with lots of chocolate chips, not a chocolate center. I will keep this in mind for something in the future.
On thursday is my final run... Wait till you see my frosting idea ;)
