Tips:

  • To make the cupcakes even more decadent, add a dollop of Nutella to the center of each cupcake before frosting.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can simply spread the buttercream on the cupcakes with a knife.
  • To get creative, decorate the cupcakes with your favorite toppings, such as chocolate shavings, Nutella-filled hazelnuts, or Ferrero Rocher candies.

No matter how you choose to decorate them, Nutella cupcakes are a surefire way to impress your friends and family. So get baking and enjoy this delicious treat!
