Cherry Cordial Cupcakes


I have never seen Cherry Chip flavored cake mix and was brainstorming how we could enjoy the mix. Cherry Cordials chocolates are really fun to eat and this mix is not recommended unless you like cough syrup flavored cherry. The Ganache frosting is a must keep in the recipe vault.

Ganache Frosting

Makes about 5 cups
  • 16 ounces semisweet chocolate
  • 16 ounces (2 cups) heavy cream
  • 1/2 stick of unsalted butter

Place the semisweet chocolate into a bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a quart-sized, over stove top begins to simmer; be careful not to allow cream to boil over. Pour the cream over the chocolate, add butter to mixture and stir until smooth. After fully incorporated, dip cupcakes into chocolate mixture and let dry.
