The Story:
Nothing is more cozy than being snuggled-up under a blanket with a mug of hot chocolate. And on those nights when it’s just me and my chick flick of choice–which tends to be You’ve Got Mail–raspberry hot chocolate is the prefect choice.

LOVE This…. simple to do and oohhh soo yummy!
Hello Lizzy. I was wondering could we use the raspberry filling in the same manner as the Caramel Apple Cupcakes? I think I would like to have the raspberry baked into the cake.
Thanks for the recipe. Looking forward to trying my two favorite ingredients…chocolate & raspberries.
Looks delicious, and just think of the possibilities of other combinations!!! 😀
I just made these, and they are heavenly!!!! The cake is so light and has such a wonderful texture and a great chocolatey flavor!! The only change I will make next time I make these, is I would run the raspberry filling thru a strainer to take out the seeds, the seeds kind of got stuck in my teeth! An overall wonderful cupcake, and I love all your recipes!! 🙂
I just made these cupcakes for my daughters winter-themed birthday party. They are fabulous and so fun! I wanted to comment that after filling my cupcake papers 3/4 full, as instructed, I only ended up with 16 cupcakes. There is no way I could have gotten 24 out of that amount of batter! Perhaps if I had done mini-cupcakes I could have gotten 24. So, if you are feeding a crowd, double the recipe.
what is devil’s food cake mix?
Hi lizzy, Whats the exact quantity in grams when you say 1 box cake mix? because we get avarietty of Cake Mix Boxes in SA.
Hi! I had a quick question – if I want to make more of a marshmallow creme/raspberry filling (like the one in your other raspberry hot chocolate cupcake) – can I use a marshmallow creme/raspberry jam combination, and if so, what amounts would you suggest? Or a creme/pie filling combination?
Thanks so much! Your recipes are fabulous!
I would just put your marshmallow puff stuff in a bowl and mix in a tablespoon of jam at a time.
I love hot chocolate.. this is nice..
