Hershey Chocolate Cupcakes
Hershey Chocolate Cupcakes are made with rich Hershey chocolate, fluffy buttercream frosting and homemade fondant decoration!
I have loved Hershey’s chocolate ever since my son was fortunate to compete at the National finals for Hershey’s North American Track and Field Games in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Touring the chocolate factory was an incredible experience. It was amazing to see that much chocolate!
I baked these chocolate cupcakes with Hershey’s cocoa and topped the with a vanilla buttercream frosting. The decoration on top was made with an edible, Homemade Marshmallow Fondant.
