About CHOCOLATE MINI CUPCAKES, CHOCOLATE

This chocolate mini cupcake is sold under Target's Wondershop seasonal brand, typically featured during the winter holiday period. It is a close variant of the standard Favorite Day and Market Pantry mini cupcake lineup, differentiated primarily by seasonal branding and minor formulation details.

Notable in the USDA ingredient record for the cupcake component is the text 'MONOAND DIGLYCERIDES' (without hyphen or space) — a transcription artifact from the original label. The cake base uses sugar, water, egg, bleached enriched wheat flour, soybean and canola oil (listed separately rather than as 'and/or'), alkali-processed cocoa, modified corn starch, whey, and multi-agent leavening, with an emulsifier blend of propylene glycol mono and diesters, mono and diglycerides, soy lecithin, and citric acid, plus natural flavor. The icing mirrors the standard Favorite Day formula: palm oil shortening, corn syrup, margarine with vitamins A and D, nonfat dry milk, butter, modified corn starch, and Yellow 5 and Blue 1 dyes. This variant lacks a separately listed sprinkles component, suggesting it may be sold plain-frosted without sprinkle decoration, or with sprinkles included under the icing component at minimal quantity.

Nutritionally: 423 calories per 100 grams, 21.13 g fat, 54.93 g carbohydrates, 2.82 g protein, 1.4 g fiber. The lower carbohydrate count (54.93 vs 56.34 in sibling SKUs) may reflect the absence of sprinkles in the final product weight calculation. Contains wheat, soy, milk, and eggs. Not suitable for those with wheat, soy, milk, or egg allergies. Shellac not listed — this variant may be more acceptable for vegans among sprinkle-free frosted cupcake options, though milk and eggs remain.
