Ingredients

  • 1 package (for 2-layer cakes) yellow cake mix

  • 1 cup cold milk

  • 1 package (4 servings) vanilla-flavored instant pudding mix

  • 1 1/2 cups thawed whipped topping

  • 4 divided squares semi-sweet chocolate

Directions

  • Make cupcakes by following the directions for the yellow cake in a greased muffin pan. Avoid using cupcake wrappers. Remove the cupcakes from the pan and cool completely.

  • Mix the instant pudding by following the directions on the pudding box. Leave the pudding to set for at least 5 minutes. When set, add 1/2 cup of whipped topping to the pudding and gently combine.

  • When the cupcakes reach room temperature, slice to make a top and bottom. Put a small amount of pudding on to one side of the cupcake and add the other half of the cupcake.

  • To make the chocolate topping, heat 1 cup of whipped topping and the semi-sweet chocolate until melted. Mix the whipped topping and chocolate until smooth. Leave the topping to stand for about 15 minutes.

  • Add the chocolate to the top of each cupcake. Chill for 20 minutes before serving.
