Directions:

Bake the Cupcakes:
Preheat your oven as per the cake mix instructions and line a cupcake tin with liners.
Prepare the cake mix as instructed on the box.
Fill each liner about 2/3 full and bake according to package instructions.
Allow cupcakes to cool completely.
Prepare the Filling:

In a bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth.
Let the mixture set for about 5 minutes until thickened.
Fill the Cupcakes:

Using a small knife, cut a hole in the center of each cupcake (about an inch deep).
Fill the holes with the prepared vanilla pudding.
Make the Ganache Topping:

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a bowl and let sit for 2 minutes.
Stir until smooth and glossy.
Top the Cupcakes:

Spoon the chocolate ganache over the filled cupcakes, letting it gently drip down the sides.
Allow the ganache to set before serving.

Tips:

For an extra rich flavor, use dark chocolate chips for the ganache.
Store cupcakes in the refrigerator for a firmer filling, or at room temperature for a softer bite.
