Who doesn’t bloody-well-love a kinder bueno?! We certainly do, so we figured making our favourite chocolate bar into a cupcake was a foolproof idea. We took the 3 key components of a bueno (chocolate, the filling and wafer) and translated them into a chocolate cup cake with hazelnut frosting and wafer as decoration (to make them look all fancy).

Assembling the cupcakes
- Pipe or spread some of the icing onto the cupcakes

Notes
- We made our own hazelnut butter but the recipe works just as well with shop bought!
Baking a Mess /
These cupcakes were a bit of an experiment for us but we were really impressed with how they turned out. The icing is pretty damn close to actual kinder bueno filling and just as delicious! This was a bit of a Glen Coco moment for us (4 for you Glen Coco, you go Glen Coco).
