We were lucky and stumbled across the last one in this batch, but I’m sure there are more Chewies where this one came from.

This is a chocolate cake, with a chocolate hazelnut flavored frosting topped with two small chocolate straws and gold glitter, and filled with a chocolate hazelnut spread.

Okay, one of my biggest complaints on Disney’s specialty cupcakes is that the actual cake is usually very dry and crumbly. But this was actually a very moist and dense chocolate cake. It did not crumble when cut and held its shape, and had a really rich chocolate flavor.

The frosting on top was a chocolate hazelnut-flavored buttercream, and I felt like there was a good ratio of frosting to cake. The filling was a thicker, richer chocolate hazelnut spread, and was more similar to the consistency of Nutella than the frosting was. I usually complain that there’s not enough filling in these cupcakes, but since this filling was so rich, I think this amount was the right call.

If you are a chocolate hazelnut fan, this cupcake will definitely hit the target for you. It’s available at Everything POP Shopping and Dining at Disney’s Pop Century Resort for $5.49. Our readers have also informed us that the cupcake is available at Art of Animation Resort’s Landscape of Flavors as well.
