Ingredients

For the Cakes:

1 box Red Velvet Cake mix
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup water
8 ounces sour cream
1 small box chocolate pudding mix (the 4 serving box)
4 eggs

For the Chocolate:

1 small can Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

For the Cakes:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a stand or electric mixer beat the cake mix, oil, water, sour cream, pudding mix, and eggs until thick and well combined. Usually for about 60 seconds.
With a cookie scoop or spoon, place cake batter into well-greased little heart molds or paper lined cupcake tins, just over 1/2 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean from center. Remove and let cool.
With the help of a plastic knife, carefully remove hearts from molds. If you are using regular cupcakes, remove wrappers. Place little cakes onto a cooling rack placed over a rimmed baking sheet.

For the Chocolate:

To prepare chocolate sauce, pour sweetened condensed milk into a small saucepan over medium heat. When hot, pour in chocolate chips and stir until smooth.
Pour chocolate sauce over cupcakes and use a little plastic knife to frost the sides of hearts. Let chocolate set slightly or eat immediately if you like it gooey!

Notes

Makes about 24 heartcakes.
