As we’re heading into the colder month, it’s time to dust off the classic festive films and get out the delicious homemade treats. I’m dreaming of hot chocolates piled up with marshmallows, quaint snowcapped mountains and lightly dusted villages. If that’s not possible, then I want the next best thing and that’s Toblerone Cupcakes with shards of chocolate to mimic the cragged mountaintop of the Matterhorn mountain peak famed on the Toblerone packaging.
This Toblerone Cupcake Recipe is decadent chocolate cupcakes with Toblerone chocolate chunks, and chocolate frosting and decorated with even more Toblerone. Some purest will be concerned that I’ve used the white and dark chocolate versions of Toblerone in the cupcake bases and then even more to decorate the mountain top of the frosting, well, it reflects the different shades of the Swiss Mountains or it is because I’m rather greedy and I like having more than one type of chocolate on my cupcakes.
There are a few tablespoons of Greek yoghurt in the cupcake mixture, this gives a nice moisture and crumb to the cupcakes and helps them not dry out. If you prefer, you can use a splash of milk to the mixture to help loosen it up and add moisture to the cupcakes.
