Food Critic’s Review:

When I first head of the cannoli cupcakes, I figured that the cannoli part would be just a cannoli type of frosting. However, I was surprised to find that the cupcakes actually had cannoli filling inside of them. Also, taking a bite and finding a few chocolate chips was a nice surprise to the treat. These cupcakes are a new twist on a favorite baked good. If you have some time, and maybe a special occasion, try these out; they are worth it.
