Agree with the chocolate cake recipe on the Hershey's tin. The other family favorite is the Cocoa Fudge recipe that used to be on the Hershey's tin. Hershey gets it right!
Now that I have time so spare.. the Bailey's Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcakes:
Crust
15 whole Oreos (more or less)
Cheesecake Batter
1 pound softened cream cheese (2 packages)
3/4 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (I only use Hershey's)
2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
2 large eggs at room temperature
4 Tablespoons Bailey's Irish Cream
1/3 cup sour cream
In a large mixing bowl with the paddle attachment, mix together the softened cream cheese, sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder and all purpose flour. Once that is combined, add the eggs, one at a time.
Add in the Bailey's Irish Cream. Then add in the sour cream. Mix to combine. Set aside.
Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners. Place a whole Oreo in each cupcake liner. Using an ice cream scooper, scoop the cheesecake batter on top of each Oreo. If you need to, spread out the cheesecake batter. (I didn't need to, it was very creamy and formed to the liners nicely.. it should be this way if you use room temperature ingredients).
Back in a preheated 300 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until cheesecakes are set. Cool them in the refrigerator over night in the cupcake pans.
Now here is where I varied from the recipe. They recommend a chocolate glaze and crumbled Oreo's on top. Honestly, I think that is too much and they were perfect as is but I will give you the glaze instructions anyway. I have not used the glaze ever.
Chocolate Glaze
2 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Put the chocolate chips in a bowl. Pour the heavy whipping cream into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Once it boils, remove from the heat and pour it over the chocolate chips. Whisk the ingredients together until completely combined. All the chocolate glaze to sit for a couple of minutes. Spoon the chocolate glaze over the cupcakes. If you like, crush up some Oreos in a food processor and sprinkle on top of the chocolate glaze.
