Ingredients

  • 1 Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix 16.25 oz.
  • 1 chocolate fudge pudding mix, dry 3.9 oz.
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup chocolate ice cream barely softened
  • 2 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk or sub scant 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp vinegar- mixed together and let sit for 5 minutes

Chocolate Ganache:

  • 1 cup bittersweet chocolate I recommend Ghirardelli Bittersweet 60% Cacao
  • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Decorations:

  • Crushed oreos orange frosting, green pull-apart Twizzlers

Instructions

Cupcakes:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Either spray a mini bundt pan with nonstick spray and then lightly coat with cocoa powder OR line a muffin tin with liners and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the pudding and cake mix.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla, and buttermilk.
  • If you don’t have buttermilk, combine 1 cup of milk with 1 tbsp. white vinegar in a separate cup and let sit for 5 minutes and then add to mixture.
  • Beat in the ice cream with the wet ingredients. Beat until smooth.
  • Mix wet and dry until combined (do not over-stir or beat in too much air)
  • Fill up the liners 3/4ths the way full and bake for 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove and let cool completely.

Chocolate Ganache:

  • Place the chocolate into a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, watching very carefully that it doesn't boil over the pan.
  • Just when the cream has come to a boil, remove it from the heat, and immediately pour it over the chocolate.
  • Whisk until completely smooth.
  • Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring over a cake.
  • Cover the warm ganache with crushed oreo crumbs and allow to cool.
  • Using a #3 tip, pipe on orange frosting in the shape of the top of a carrot. Place small pieces of separated and cut up green Twizzlers on top of the frosting.
