Surprise your Valentine by creating stroopwafel cupcakes! Stroopwafels are a Dutch treat made from two thin layers of crisp waffle-like cookies joined by a cinnamon-flavored caramel filling. Our stroopwafel cupcakes recipe uses Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Devil's Food Cake Mix, a homemade cream cheese frosting and dipped mini Dutch stroopwafels. The little cookies are naturally adorable, but when dipped in chocolate and decorated with pink sprinkles, they’re sure to capture anyone’s heart.

    1
    Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. Make cake mix as directed on box for 24 cupcakes. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about two-thirds full).

    Meanwhile, in small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and shortening uncovered on High 1 minute; stir. If necessary, continue microwaving and stirring in 15-second intervals until melted and smooth. Dip half of each stroopwafel into chocolate. Place on parchment-covered cookie sheet. Immediately sprinkle stroopwafels with some of the sprinkles. Refrigerate about 10 minutes or until coating is set.

    In large bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla and 1 teaspoon of the milk with electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. Reduce speed to low; gradually add powdered sugar. Increase speed to medium, beating until smooth and fluffy. If frosting is too thick, add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency.
