With Easter coming up i thought i would make these Mini cupcakes!
Their chocolate mud (recipe follows) with chocolate butter cream frosting and white chocolate (melted) to make the cross.

Ingredients:
- 50g dark chocolate
- 1/2 cup (150ml) water
- 65g butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup self-raising flour
- 1/4 cup plain flour
- 1/4 cup (30g) cocoa powder
Method:
- Preheat oven to 160°C. Line mini muffin pans with paper cases.
- Combine the chocolate and water in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well between each addition, until just combined. Add the flours and cocoa powder and stir until just combined. Add the melted chocolate mixture and stir to combine. Spoon evenly among the lined muffin pans. Bake in oven for 10-15 minutes or until a slightly springs back when you touch. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
