Mini Cupcakes

Everytime I walk through the bakery section of the supermarket and I see the mini cupcakes with chocolate icing I think to myself, I should make some of these at home.  So I did and they were so fun and easy to make. This recipe is super easy.  All you need to do is just place all the ingredients into a bowl and use an electric mixer, and there you have the cupcake batter.  You can use this batter to make full size cupcakes or mini ones. The chocolate ganache icing is also easy to make and so delicious.  You might end up eating all the left over ganache icing with a spoon. This recipe is fun to make with little kids as an activity and they can decorate them with sprinkles, lollies, chocolate or anything sugary.
