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.[end-story]

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..
