Forever MORE Cupcakes: Hazelnut

The cupcake pictured above is MORE: Hazelnut.

What the heck is this?  Super weird!  But we LOVE IT!

Shauna was super excited to review this one!

Presentation : 10/10 Sprinkles

We thought this cupcake, like other MORE cupcakes, was very unique in presentation.  We think that it looks sticky in a way with the big piece of toffee on top.

Taste & Texture

Cake: The cupcake was very tall, which is MORE signature shape.  The cake was a dark chocolate cake.  We try the cake first before we try the frosting and there wasn't a hint of hazelnut in the cake.  However, a few minutes later we got to the center of the cake and there was a warm & creamy hazelnut center! YUM!

Frosting: The frosting on top was a chocolate mousse type butter cream.  Let's talk about the candy on top!  It was AMAZING!  Soft hazelnut brittle with dark chocolate on the back.  We could eat handfuls of this candy!  

Overall:  

Shauna: 7/10 Sprinkles

 Shauna gave this rating because she was disappointed by the lack of hazelnut flavor.  She thought this cupcake tasted more like a brownie. The chocolate mousse was a surprise to her.

Katrina: 6/10 Sprinkles

Katrina gave this rating because it tasted similar to a slice of chocolate cake from Costco.  However, the candy on top was the highlight of the cupcake!  Can we get the brittle in bulk??
