Homemade Ho-Ho's

I found this recipe while looking for a last minute dessert for a friend get-together. I was excited to try the results, and they did not dissapoint. I love the website allrecipes.com. I love it when others review recipes and give me hints to make it better before I even try it!

Cupcakes:
12, made from recipe or cake mix- I made my from a cake mix cause I'm lazy :)

Filling:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup shortening
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 pinch salt
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Glaze:
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a large bowl, beat butter and shortening together until smooth. Blend in confectioners' sugar and pinch of salt. Gradually beat in 3 tablespoons milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy. Fill a pastry bag with a small tip. Push tip through bottom of paper liner to fill each cupcake. Combine chocolate chips, butter and corn syrup. Melt in microwave, stirring frequently, until chips are melted and mixture is smooth, then add vanilla. Spread warm glaze over top of cake, letting it drizzle down the sides. Use leftover filling to pipe cutsie designs on top of cupcakes! Yum!
