Ferrero Rocher Cupcakes

I was watching Cupcake Wars one day and had an 'aha' moment. I thought to myself..you know what would be really tasty? Ferroro Rocher cupcakes! Here they are... just another idea brought to reality. Wish you could see right through these cupcakes because there's an actual ferrero rocher in the center. I made them for our Superbowl party and they were a huge hit.

INGREDIENTS
yellow cake mix...when you dont have time to make it from scratch ;)
vegetable oil
eggs
ferrero rocher chocolates
nutella
heavy cream
gold sprinkles (optional)
gold cupcake foil (optional)

Directions:
Freeze ferrero rocher
Follow the cake directions on the box
Pour batter a little less than half way in each cupcake foil
Place a ferrero rocher choclate in the middle (don't worry, the chocolate wont melt in the oven)
Bake according to time on the cake box and there you go!

Now for the nutella ganache
1/2 cup Nutella
1/2 cup heavy cream

Cook in heavy-bottomed sauce pan over MEDIUM heat*, stirring constantly until the mixture is completely smooth (~7-10 minutes). Let ganache cool slightly (~ 5 minutes). With a spatula smooth ganach on each cupcake. Let the ganache cool completely before serving then add the gold sprinkles.
