Dark Chocolate Walnut Cappuccino Cupcakes
This month we are providing a gluten free chocolate cupcake recipe with a crunchy topping made from our Walnut Cappuccino Truebar. The Truebar topping adds an element that may also remind you of a coffee cake and in all honesty, this recipe would be a perfect replacement to the traditional morning pastry.
