Tips:
- For a smoother chocolate glaze, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it over the cupcakes.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to create the heart-shaped designs on the cupcakes.
- To make the cupcakes even more festive, you can add some sprinkles or edible glitter to the glaze before it sets.
- These cupcakes are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
