Surprise Easter Cupcakes

Very cool idea and a hit with kids! I found the cup cakes to be dry (I dont usually bake using mix) so perhaps next time I will make the cup cakes from scratch instead of a mix. I wasn't sure which vanilla wafers to use (I am located in Canada and couldn't find these cookies). Instead I used crumbled up vanilla wafer sticks which worked well. The chocolate did not spill.

I made these with the reduced sugar chocolate cake mix and the reduced sugar chocolate fudge frosting. I use the Reese's peanut butter eggs and they are truly decadent and tasty.

Thanks for a great recipe, Aunt Paula. I made the cupcakes for Easter, but used a Devils Food cake mix. (Chocolate was the grandkids request.) I've made the yellow, too, and is my personal favorite! The "Nilla" wafer is a must, as it keeps the chocolate egg from coming out of the bottom of the cupcake. I just made the chocolate cupcakes for a graduation party and no Easter eggs available, so I cut up Reese's peanut butter cups in small wedges and added those. Yum!

These are great! I made them to take into work for Easter. The only fault I have with the recipe is that the eggs don't stay upright in the batter. But who cares? The center is gooey chocolate, and is wonderful. My son loves them. This will be a year-round treat, not just for Easter! I'd imagine the recipe would work just as well with Hershey's Kisses. Thanks for a great recipe!
