Ferrero rocher cupcakes. Yummm.

My love for gianduia [hazelnut chocolate] is a lot.
It's my favorite flavor..
I also love to bake.
It's so fun and cute.
So when I saw Ferrero Rocher cupcakes.
I made them =]
I have actually seen a few of these recipes online..
I made the recipe I found here.
They are so delicious.
This recipe does not use a wafer, but you could add one on top for the crunchy feel
if you'd like..

I have to type the recipe out from the smallest amount of ingredients to the largest, because I like it organized that way.
Also.
I feel it's easier to forget to get the small ingredients at the grocery store..and sometimes even in the recipe.
So to avoid this, you can make a list for the grocery store and be sure to have your ingredients all ready and in the same place before you begin.
Also look over the recipe and see what ingredients can be grouped together and place them that way on your work surface.
I like to put the ingredients away as I use them so I don't skip over anything.
Be sure to set your oven temperature before you begin to give the oven time to heat up.
Have a cute time baking!
