The Prettiest White Chocolate Cupcakes

Celebrate the ones you love with these adorable white chocolate cupcakes. Jessica Merchant, blogger of How Sweet Eats, tops these sweet treats with white chocolate truffles for a fun twist on classic Valentine's Day desserts.

I've never met a truffle that I didn't like. It starts with the fact that I am a chocolate-lover through and through, and ends with the truth that there is barely a dessert too rich for my sweet teeth. In fact, the richer the dessert, the better! Truffles are one of my go-to treats for that reason. They are so decadent and the perfect bite-sized indulgent. And when they include fancy flavors, I get insanely excited. I love a dark rich chocolate, but then I married someone who straight up ADORES white chocolate. My husband would choose white chocolate over milk or dark any day. And while he loves traditional desserts like chocolate chip cookies and brownies, I knew he would go crazy for a white chocolate cupcake topped with a truffle. It's like two desserts in one! The real question is do you save the truffle for last? Or enjoy it first? These truffles are absolutely perfect! Filled with the most delicious insides like chocolate, hazelnut, cherry (my favorite!) and orange, we nearly went through a box before I got to top the cupcakes with them. I recommend getting two boxes. One for the top of the white chocolate cupcakes and another to enjoy by themselves with cappuccinos. If you're looking for an out-of-the-box dessert for Valentine's day, these are so it. They are fancier than regular cupcakes and different enough from those traditional Valentine's desserts such as molten cakes or chocolate martinis. The frosting is my favorite part because it incorporates melted white chocolate. The truffle on top is just the icing on the cake or the truffle on the cake? And so ridiculously wonderful. We can't get enough!
