Twix Hi Hat Cupcakes - After Chocolate Bath
I have a very old friend of the family coming for dinner tonight - she's in town with her family from the US. She has been a great supporter of my cupcakes, albeit virtually, so I wanted to bake something special to mark the event.
Her daughter wanted all chocolate cupcakes but she vetoed the double chocolate so I decided to try out Hi Hats. These are a Twix variety of my own invention - a caramel swirled vanilla cake with golden biscuit morsels and chocolate chunks. Topped with a Caramel Swiss Meringue Buttercream (I am not a SMBC fan but have been tinkering with a recipe for some time now and am quite won over by this one!). This is after the chocolate dip in melted Nestle Semi-sweet chips - a stash of which I have been saving for a good occasion!
You'll have to come back later for a pic of the insides........
