Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes with Nutella Buttercream Frosting

Dessert· Food

8 Sep

You’ve seen it all over the internet.  Some of you might be cringing over it and some might be jumping for joy.  Either way it should come as no surprise that it’s pumpkin season!  Pumpkin scones, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, and pumpkin beverages.  It’s pretty hard to escape and I don’t mind one bit! I also love the combination of pumpkin and chocolate together and try to pair them up together as often as I can.  That’s one reason I created these Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes with Nutella Buttercream Frosting. It’s the perfect fall dessert, yum!

Are you kidding me!? Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes with Nutella Buttercream Frosting, holy YUM factor! These easy pumpkin cupcakes are the perfect fall dessert, love this fall recipe, mm!

Yes.  There’s Nutella in the frosting and I wish I could spread it on everything!  

Are you kidding me!? Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes with Nutella Buttercream Frosting, holy YUM factor! These easy pumpkin cupcakes are the perfect fall dessert, love this fall recipe, mm!

    I think I’m one of the few people that don’t love chocolate or Nutella. I’ve always been a white cake, white frosting kind of girl. I know, boring! lol! But they look super yummy and everyone else would love them! 🙂 Thanks for sharing the recipe with SYC.
