Add the butter to the bowl, and crack your eggs into a small bowl first to be sure you don’t get any shells in your cupcakes (this is especially important when your helper is under 10 years old).<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
Theeeeen dump them into the mixing bowl.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

For the frosting, break up whatever chocolate you like, (just make sure there’s about 3 1\/2 oz of it), with the syrup and the butter. Melt it all together over a pan of hot water and mix till it’s all melty.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Wee One #2 attacked all 12 cupcakes with frosting and then covered them in jelly beans, life savers and whatever other candies she could get her little hands on. So cute and way too yummy!<\/div>\n
