I love food served with an unexpected twist, like these cupcakes with a creamy chocolate truffle center. My kids love to "help" make them, but I have to be sure to have enough truffles saved to actually fill the cupcakes! —Amanda Noll, Spanaway, Washington

Fill paper-lined muffin cups one-third full. Drop a truffle into the center of each cupcake. Top with remaining batter. Bake at 350° for 17-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Top with whipped cream if desired. Yield: 2 dozen.

If you take and bake the cupcake without the truffle..once baked take the cooled cupcake and cut a hole in middle..drop in the truffle from the refrig and put the cap back on..frost as desired..this solves the problem of the truffle melting to the bottom of the cupcake..! Enjoy these delicious cupcakes...

cupcakes were good but i couldnt really tell there was a truffle in it.It kind of sunk to the bottom...melted...and leaked out the bottom.However I did use Lindor store bought truffles instead of homeade. Still made a moist chocolatey cupcake tho...

Love this recipe! it's moist, only thing is that the truffle melts to the bottom, so i freeze the truffle, then roll it in flour it seems to keep in the center of the cupcake. Tammara, Iowa

I made these for Valentines day and they are delicious!! They are moist, rich and fudgy. The only problem I had is that the truffle sank and melted to the bottom of the cupcake. They were still really good though!
