Hi, I am Rachel Edelman for About.com Food. Today I'm going to show you how to make cappuccino bon bon.

Cappuccino Bon Bon Ingredients

For this recipe you will need:
  • 1 package chewy fudge brownie mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 c. water
  • 1/3 c. vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. instant coffee
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • whipped topping
  • extra cinnamon
Preheat oven 350 degrees.

Ready the Bon Bon liners

place 2-inch cupcake liners on an aluminum lined cookie sheet. For smaller bon bons, use smaller 1 1/2 in liners.

Mix the Bon Bon Ingredients

Pour the brownie mix, eggs, water, oil, instant coffee, and cinnamon into a mixing bowl. Combine these ingredients with a spoon until well blended. Fill each cupcake liner with 2 tbsp of batter for big ones, 1 tbsp for the small ones.

Bake the Cappuccino Bon Bons

Put the sheets into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, for smaller bon bons cook only 12-15 minutes. You can check to see if it's done by sticking a toothpick in the center to see if it comes out clean.

Cool and Decorate the Bon Bons

Let the bon bons cool on a wire rack. Place the swirl tip in a pastry bag. Fill the bag with whipped cream and close the bag. Gently squeeze and twist out the whipped cream for a fancy swirled design. Garnish with extra cinnamon. Serve and enjoy.
