Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line 2 muffin pans with cupcake liners.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cake mix, pudding, eggs, water, milk and vegetable oil until well combined.

Pour the batter into the muffin cups filling them up approximately 1/2 way full.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the cupcakes cool completely on wire racks.

Once the cupcakes are cool, use a small spoon or grapefruit spoon to remove a small hole in the top of each of the cupcakes.

Then pipe Nutella into the center of each of the cupcakes.

Beat the butter and vanilla extract with a stand up mixer or hand held mixer until smooth and creamy.

Slowly add in the powdered sugar (1 cup at a time) until the powdered sugar is fully mixed in (the mixture will be thick).

Add in the Nutella and mix on low speed until fully combined.

Then slowly add in the heavy whipping cream one tablespoon at a time until the frosting is a good piping consistency.

Place the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe the frosting on each of the cupcakes.

Top with the mini chocolate chips.  Then the cupcakes are ready to serve and enjoy!
