To make these colorful and festive little Valentine snacks, you will need your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe or the store bought cookie dough and a package of M &M's.
Form a ball of cookie dough in your hands to about a little bigger than a ping pong ball and flatten it like a pancake. Press the chocolate chip dough into a standard sized greased cupcake pan and mold the dough to the inside of the cup leaving a depression in the center.
Bake at 365 degrees for about 15 minutes or until the center of the cookie is set.
Allow the cookie cups to cool on a wire rack before dropping a handful of candies in the center to avoid a melted mess. Serve them as is or jazz them up with little holiday themed treat bags to gift.
Add drama to your Valentine's Day Wedding or even your romantic Valentine's Dinner!
Check out these Flaming Strawberry Chocolate Cupcakes over at Sprinkle Bakes I love the idea of these yummy treats!!
Cupcakes:
3/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups of sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
3/4 teaspoon of baking powder
3/4 teaspoon of salt
2 eggs
3/4 cup of hot water
3/4 cup of heavy cream
3 tablespoons of canola or other vegetable oil
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tin with cupcake papers and set aside. Sift together cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add eggs, water, heavy cream, oil and vanilla. Mix with a hand held mixer until smooth. Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each half full. Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool before frosting.
Frosting:
2 sticks of softened butter
4 cups of confectioners' sugar
4 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, cream together sugar, cocoa and butter; beginning on low speed then increase to high. Beat until fluffy and lightened in color. Transfer mixture to a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip. Frost cupcakes.
Strawberries:
18-24 Strawberries - you'll need as many as you have cupcakes
Vodka, rum, or your choice of liquor 80 proof or higher (over-proof such as 110 will give you a yellow flame)
Hollow the strawberries carefully. If you pierce the side of the strawberry accidentally, start with a new one. Since you'll be setting the liquor aflame, it is important that the strawberry is leak-proof. Set one strawberry atop each frosted cupcake.
Fill strawberries with liquor just before lighting (see tips). If you need to light them all at once, (say, for a party) use a turkey baster to quickly fill all the strawberries and a grill lighter in lieu of matches.
