Mix all the dry ingredients, sift, and stir into the batter
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cupcake liners and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes
Let the cupcakes cool completely after baking
Finely grind the chocolate bars with a food processor; alternatively, place them in a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin
Beat the soft (not liquid!) butter with powdered sugar, add the milk and stir briefly
Fold in the ground chocolate bars by hand using a spatula
Fill the frosting into a piping bag with a large star tip and pipe swirls onto the cupcakes
Roughly chop the chocolate couverture and melt in a double boiler
Using a fork, drizzle the melted chocolate in stripes over the frosting
Cut the chocolate bars into four pieces each with a knife, place one piece on each cupcake, and gently press into the frosting
Chill the cupcakes until serving
