Chocolate Coconut Pecan Cupcakes

Made this recipe, i like different textures in food and considering everything thats in it, its really not that sweet, as far as the pudding mix goes, i usually pick one that matches the cake im making, this time i used a white chocolate mix, i have tried chocolate and it tastes the same, just keeps the cake really moist. you can also do this with any type of cake mix (yellow or white), i sometimes cut a cupcake in half and top with a scoop of icecream or with fresh strawberries and fresh cream.. that looks really pretty with the dark chocolate, bright red strawberries and white cream...for icing ill use a cream cheese frosting.
