Hot fudge. Ice cream sundae. Cupcakes…Hot Fudge Sundae Cupcakes. Need I say more? (Just kidding, I will definitely say more!)Cupcakes are something of a cliché at this point, aren’t they? It seems like only yesterday that the idea of cupcakes was a novelty and there weren’t cupcake places on every corner of town. But no matter how many cupcake shops come and go over the years, I know one thing for certain: they can still be incredibly delicious. Especially when you step them up a notch or two with a recipe that will blow your taste buds out of the water.

Instructions
Using a paring knife, cut the top middle section of your cupcakes and fill each one with chocolate syrup. Cover the holes with the cupcake pieces you cut out.
In a stand mixer, slowly start beating butter, sugar, milk and vanilla to make your buttercream. Gradually increase the speed to high. The buttercream is ready once it forms stiff peaks.
Using a piping bag, generously frost your cupcakes with the buttercream.
Microwave your chocolate candy melts in 30-second intervals until completely melted. With a spoon, drizzle over on top of your frosted cupcakes. Top with sprinkles and a maraschino cherry.
