And again on 12th Oct 2022 &#8211; I reduced the sugar from 145g to 120g.)<br \/> These delicious morsels are a favourite for the childrens&#8217; birthdays. They&#8217;re easy to make and the recipe can be doubled.<br \/> I find that Woolworths Home Brand Cocoa is absolutely divine for these. It&#8217;s rich and dark, (dutched cocoa) unlike Cadbury&#8217;s bland offering.<\/p>\n<p>This recipe was developed in the TM6. Makes around 12 medium sized cupcakes. If using a muffin tin, they&#8217;ll make 9 or 10.<\/p>\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-4538\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"4538\"
