Makes around 18

Good for weeknights, these were quick to make and gone in a day. There’s also plenty of chance to dip them in chocolate and festive sprinkles for Christmas. It’s an easy one to split up into multiple flavours. I did pistachio/cranberry and white chocolate/cherry.

Makes 10 cupcakes
