Hot Chocolate Cupcakes

We've recently been sent some new Maltesers malty chocolate drink to try out. It comes in a new eco pouch and can be made up with hot water or milk to make a frothy chocolate drink.

It would be easy just to post a picture here of the drink and say how good it was, blah blah blah. Well we've done that....

....and myself and Jack have also made cupcakes, using the malted chocolate drink in the cakes as well as the icing.
