Orange Milk Chocolate Cupcakes
Who would have ever thought that the flavors of orange and chocolate would be such a delight to the taste buds. The first time I ever had the pleasure of eating them together was when I bought a chocolate orange ball. It was in the shape of an orange , but made of chocolate. You could even break it into segments like an orange. One taste and I was hooked.
Orange Milk Chocolate Cupcakes …milk chocolate on the inside and on top just because I love milk chocolate. The addition of orange zest and juice gives you a subtle flavor of orange that marries so well with the creaminess of milk chocolate.
As you start mixing the recipe together you’re going to notice that this is a very thick batter, it almost has the appearance of a cookie dough instead of a cupcake batter. Fill your cupcake liners 3/4 full, sprinkle with chips and bake.
These cupcakes are perfect all by themselves, but if you want to kick them up a notch, serve them warm with ice cream. Orange Milk Chocolate Cupcakes, Enjoy!
