Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla, mixing on medium speed 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Fill prepared baking cups 2/3 full with batter.

3

Bake 18 to 22 minutes.** Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to wire racks. Makes 30 cupcakes.

4

To assemble each sundae, place scoop of ice cream onto bottom of sundae dish. Flatten top of ice cream with back of spoon. Place warmed cupcake on flatten top of ice cream. Drizzle warmed HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Fudge Topping over cupcake and ice cream.
