EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If you have only one 12-cup muffin pan, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Then bake the rest of the batter in the cooled muffin pan, adding 1 or 2 minutes to the bake time.

The kiss in the center just sinks to the bottom, some were left on the wrapper and even if it was in the cupcake it was very hard and not easy to eat when cooled down. Some other suggestion to put the kiss in the cupcake would be helpful.
