Schnapps Cupcakes "Recipe"





I'm actually really guilty to call this a recipe. It's super simple and basically totally cheating as far as baking goes.

For my schnapps cupcakes, I bought a Duncan Hines chocolate cake mix. At first, I was going to put the schnapps in the batter, but someone told me that would cook away the alcohol. So, I mixed and baked the cupcakes in the normal fashion. After they were baked and cooled, I used a butter knife to score the cupcakes, as shown below. (Be careful not to cut all the way through the bottom!)












After they were cut, I used the cap of the bottle of schnapps to drizzle schnapps onto the cupcakes. It was approximately 2-2 1/2 cap fulls per cup cake. (Due to the incisions, the schnapps soaked in easily.) Personally, I used Cherry Pucker schnapps (of course--it's me). I figured chocolate and cherry go well together.



After I'd drizzled the schnapps, I frosted the cupcakes with chocolate frosting. (Sorry, no pictures of the finished product! :( )
Frosting them not only adds to the yummy, unhealthy-ness, but also hides the ugly incisions. And I added little rainbow sprinkles, cuz they're fun.

Voila! That's all, folks. Shamefully simple, but a lot of fun for parties and a great conversation piece!
(Just make sure you tell anyone who eats them that they can't drive home! ;)  )
