Blogger La Petite Pâtissière of Dublin, Ireland has made these amazing-looking cupcakes, and she even has the recipe. She writes:

Leafing through my battered, sugar-crusted recipe notebook, I stumbled across the chocolate fondant recipe I used while working as a commis chef at Harvey Nichols. With a few minor adjustments, the chocolate fondant cupcake was born - pure decadence encased in silver foil. This is a rich, practically debauched dessert – bound to excite and impress any serious chocoholic, and perhaps convert an indifferent chocolate dabbler into a devotee. It is best pared with something like a high-quality vanilla bean ice cream, or a white chocolate ice cream (Green & Black’s does a lovely organic white chocolate ice cream…divine!)

Admittedly, the recipe in it's entirety is a bit labour-intensive...but not too finicky, and the outcome is certainly worth the effort. Dig in and bliss out, darlings...
