Hello my peoples! So yea… by the title you know this one is gonna be awesome! And, it is! Omg, I love red velvet everything! There is a local cupcake shop close to our house and they have the BEST cupcakes I have ever tasted. But, their red velvet are definitely at the top of the list! So I wanted to make some myself, and of course you know me, I had to really mix it up! I stuffed them with a little Hershey’s kiss and topped it with buttercream flavored with nutella… woah! These are just a little piece of Heaven!

I used a box cake mix to make these. I know! But, I just loooove boxed cake mix, it’s easy and it always comes out light and fluffy like I like it! So, feel free to use another recipe for the cake mix, but I’m sticking to my trusty premade cake mix! Frosting adapted from Kitchen Treaty.
