White chocolate isn’t technically chocolate at all but it gets away with it because it’s pretty. She doesn’t contain any cacao and is simply just cocoa butter + milk + sugar but buyer beware, lower end bars/chips substitute shortening for cocoa butter. Though, I’m a big fan of darker chocolate that yields at least a 75% cocoa range, I like to mix it up sometimes, indulging in some buttery white chocolate. There’s something that can be so sublime about biting into a pure, milky white bar.

Mama was like, “Sweetheart, I don’t think it’s baked all the way…”
I too am usually lured in by the darker chocolate variety, but dang girl – you make white chocolate look GOOD!
She’s got that deceptive manipulative quality, huh? =)
I am a dark chocolate fiend, but really, any dessert has my name all over it
Right? ^.~
I’m sure that they are beautiful but I just can’t get into white chocolate. Dark chocolate though – don’t get between me and it!
lol–you made me laugh. White chocolate is definitely a second for me.
Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the pictures on this blog loading? I’m trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Those cupcakes look really delicious!
Thank you llan!!
I love that there is a truffle inside each cupcake! I’m actually a big fan of white chocolate (and dark, and milk…) – now I want one of these cupcales!

I’m definitely thankful for chocolate (he’s been a good friend) so it’d be appropriate =)
Biting into one of these and the white chocolate center must be revelatory!
Is that what that was? I thought after a large meal + 4 of these was a food coma =)
My husband is crazy for white chocolate. These are the perfect cupcakes for him.
That’s a huge compliment considering all the yummies you whip up!
YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
You’re awesome, Unni!
I am all for dark chocolate, however the milky flavor from white “chocolate” is something else..I absolutely love it!
It’s a different type of bliss and I’m all about bliss, lol.
I LOVE white chocolate.
You’re in the right place, my friend =)

Chocohalic here, I’ll take any but I prefer 70% +. Would totally devour these white chocs though
It’s a nice switch of pace, huh?
Those look delicious!
Thank you very kindly =)
These look great!
Thank you =)
I’m a dark chocolate lover myself but your cupcakes would be perfect during the holiday season for something different and delicious.
I want to make a black and white cupcake at some point—best of both worlds, huh? =)
white chocolate is one of my favorites,
I bet a little bacon mixed in would be awesome too…Mmmmm
bacon ftw!!!
Well, I was going to make a ham and cheese omelette for breakfast now, I want cupcakes!!! These look so good, love the inside
I will trade you cupcakes for some omelets—sounds like a great breakfast!
yummy! Can I have some now!!!
of course! =)
Oh, yum! Sounds so good!
My belly says 2 thumbs up (which is crazy bc she has no thumbs).
I’m just starting to like white chocolate. I know for sure that I’d love it in these delicious and moist looking cupcakes.
I hear dogs can have it–though, I’m not 100% on that.
Pretty cute cupcake. I was just thinking earlier that I need a new cupcake recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Thank YOU for watching =)
Hi Angie, woooooooooow …..I LOVE this cuppies. PLEASE reserve 2 for me and a cup of coffee too. It look scrumptious and to die for kind…. Nice video, keep up the good work. I’m your number one fan
Have a lovely squishy day. With love!
You know you’re always welcome over, Amelia! We could share a french press and chit chat and stuff our faces with cupcakes! No boys! =)
OMG these look ah-maze-ing!
You did it! aaaa! I’ve been seeing white chocolate truffle cupcakes on pinterest for so long and they always look so appealing but usually the link leadsd to a spam site (beware!) so I had to track down the recipe myself. I think it used Lindt truffles so it’s cool you made your own ganache for these. These sound so good! P.S. I noticed you don’t usually link to a recipe source, does that mean you only post your own creations? If so you are a baking rock star!
This one was high maintenance (as most pretty things are) and she didn’t cooperate until the 3rd time around–my recipes are my own but it’s definitely a labor of love.
Much love and power to you for that! I know how much work can go into perfecting a recipe…which is why I mostly leave it to the pros like you! Thank you!
You are TOO sweet, Veronica!
Oh my goodness! I’m usually more of a dark chocolate person, but these look amazing!
Me too, but she’s darling, huh? She’s manipulative, that white chocolate!
My oh my….these White Chocolate Truffle Cupcake are so easy to make especially with the help of your video.
I love the inside of these cupcakes…so decadent with that white chocolate truffle melting in these. hm….
Just like you, I like super dark chocolates, but these are just too good to pass by!
Thanks so much for watching, Amy!! =)
I know what you mean-I love all kinds of chocolate! Dark, milk and white!
Not a chocolate discriminator, huh? ^.~
