Kid-Made Cocoa Cupcakes

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1-1/2 cups sugar
• 2 tablespoons baking cocoa
• 2 tablespoons instant hot cocoa mix
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 large eggs, room temperature
• 2/3 cup whole milk
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 milk chocolate baking bar (4 ounces), melted
• Whipped topping, thawed, optional

1. Preheat oven to 375u0b0. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
2. Combine the first 5 ingredients. In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, water and vanilla. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients, beating on medium until smooth. Beat in butter; add melted chocolate and beat just until blended.
3. Fill prepared muffin cups half full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. If desired, top with whip topping and decorate as desired.
