Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cupcakes – moist chocolate cupcakes topped with fluffy strawberry cream cheese frosting and a drizzle of chocolate ganache. A delicious Valentine’s Day recipe by our contributor Lauren Kapeluck of EllenJay Events<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

Valentine’s Day will be here very soon so it’s only appropriate to share a recipe that just screams chocolate and strawberries, and well, more chocolate!\u00a0 After all, I’m pretty sure chocolate covered strawberries are a major Valentine’s staple that never disappoints.\u00a0 So why not take that signature dessert and turn it into a cupcake flavor.\u00a0 Get ready to drool over these Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cupcakes<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

I’ve been envisioning how to create this recipe for a while now and initially was thinking about a strawberry cake covered in chocolate ganache.\u00a0 But then I came to my senses and realized this is a month truly devoted to all things chocolate.\u00a0 So the more chocolate the better in this recipe, and decided on a chocolate cake instead.\u00a0 Trust me, you will thank me for this extra layer of chocolate once you sink your teeth into these babies.<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

These cupcakes start with my go to chocolate cake recipe, that makes the most moist, delicious and addictive treat.\u00a0 A ruffled mound of strawberry cream cheese frosting is then piped on followed by a drizzle of chocolate ganache.\u00a0 At this point these cupcakes look and taste pretty fabulous, but we can’t forget the signature chocolate covered strawberry on top.\u00a0 Now this is what you call one sweet, indulgent and decadent Valentine’s treat!<\/p>\n

I will warn you that this fancy cupcake does get a little messy once you try to tackle it.\u00a0 So you may want to go in with a fork or be prepared to come away with some chocolate ganache all over your lips!\u00a0 I hope you all enjoy this recipe and have a sweet Valentine’s Day!<\/p>\n
