Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 30 muffin cups with paper liners.

  2. Beat cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, water, and eggs for cupcakes with a mixer on low speed until moistened. Beat on medium speed for 2 more minutes.

  3. Stir in chopped chocolate and 2 tablespoons of the crushed candy canes. Reserve remaining crushed candy for the topping. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 20 to 23 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.

  5. Melt chocolate square for topping in a microwave-safe bowl in a microwave, 10 to 20 seconds.

  6. Frost cooled cupcakes with whipped topping. Drizzle with melted chocolate and top with remaining crushed candy canes.
