By far the worst cupcake recipe ever. I followed the direction exactly although I was concerned about the amount of sugar, no salt, and minimal baking soda. I had to cook them for 24 minutes versus 18 - 20 for them to set. They spilled over versus rising and consequently stuck to the muffin tin making it impossible to get them out of tin without damaging them. As I suspected, they were too sweet, and without any real chocolaty flavor.

And the directions for the frosting say specifically to "beat in the confectioners' sugar , etc...", meaning to beat INTO the butter chocolate mixture. I had to read that lilne a few times myself! Oh well! I would recommend this cupcake, my family loved it. Yummy!!!<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"06\/27\/2012 11:34","GUID":"71d30c9f83c24bc4be4e6d3eba191d0c","MemberId":5009498,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"sherry_vinigrette","SubmittedDate":"06\/27\/2012 11:34"},{"Comment":"
Recipe said it would make 18-20. I filled 24 and they overflowed. Look horrible!

So moist and delicious! But why no salt in this recipe? And the frosting directions don't seem complete. Add the cooled chocolate mixture to the creamed sugar I assumed.<\/p>
Absolutely delicious cupcakes.<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"02\/02\/2012 04:26","GUID":"f2bfc301d5654d298df6add2a02a326d","MemberId":1519899,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"gr8singer","SubmittedDate":"02\/02\/2012 04:26"},{"Comment":"

I thought these cupcakes were fantastic. Instead of the unsweetened chocolate, i substituted semi-sweet mini chocolate chips. I also used Ideal confectioners' sugar, it is a sugar-substitute that made the frosting a little healthier. Overall, this recipe was a success!<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"01\/16\/2011 14:57","GUID":"f33dc4d416594612895b37fcfef93679","MemberId":5766489,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Melissa Schanck","SubmittedDate":"01\/16\/2011 14:57"},{"Comment":"
When I tasted the batter it seemed pretty dull and the actual cupcake also seemed a little flat but with the frosting it was very yummy and moist. I would definitely make these again<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"08\/16\/2010 12:50","GUID":"62c06ea2acd944749e2a798bc55f92e6","MemberId":4619901,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"abeaty10","SubmittedDate":"08\/16\/2010 12:50"},{"Comment":"
These are so moist and delicious! Several people asked me for the recipe. I subsituted Hersey's dark chocolate powder and oil for the semisweet chocolate.

The cupcakes (4 stars) were very moist and I would make them again, but the frosting was very bitter (1 star) and I will definitely substitute something else next time. Even my Mom who doesn't like things very sweet commented on the frosting. I ended up with way more frosting than I needed and ended up dumping half down the drain.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"08\/11\/2010 10:23","GUID":"70f240d224a74baba458611092bb75f9","MemberId":5174353,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"historygal22","SubmittedDate":"08\/11\/2010 10:23"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"08\/09\/2010 19:10","GUID":"79e0259471c849d9a7efc208fb5dd1f1","MemberId":5305874,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Foggybrains","SubmittedDate":"08\/09\/2010 19:10"},{"Comment":"
