Best Chocolate Cupcakes Ever!!!! Just ask my friends and they’ll agree.

March10

These cupcakes have been a huge hit at our house and with our friends.  I don’t bother making regular and free cupcakes anymore.  I just make these for everyone.  They are that good!!!  A big issue for kids that must eat free is birthday cake.  Not anymore.  Make a batch of these, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then foil, and the put them in the freezer.  I grab two out whenever we are heading to a party and my girls are non the wiser.  Another great addition is frosting.  I have found that many of the chocolate frostings are dairy free.  Just read your labels.  We have the Pillsbury Chocolate fudge Funfetti in the refigerator right now.  I keep it well sealed and it lasts in there a long time.  I hope you enjoy these cupcakes as much as we do.
