These are the best chocolate cupcakes I've ever eaten. I topped them with some homemade chocolate buttercream frosting and they were gone very quickly. Many people have already asked for the recipe. If you like chocolate, you can't go wrong with this recipe!
Muy Excelente!

Beth Chrestman from Starkville, MS

These cupcakes were very delicious and so easy to make. I gave them out to my friends in band at MSU and everyone loved them. They commented on how moist and delicious they were!

Outstanding

Gail Rodgers from CHESTERFIELD, MI

Easy to make, better to eat. Great chocolate fix.
Great birthday cake

SUE WILSON from CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MI

This is a very moist, rich, creamy cake. I have made this many times for family birthday parties and always get compliments. I have made it in a 9 x 13 pan and in (2) 9 inch pans with success. It does require you to cook a little longer than the box directions. This is a very delicious cake.

I made these and took them to a family get together and my sister like them so much that she wanted the recipe to make them for her Wedding. They went over really well. She also used different flavor cake mixes and puddings.

This is the same recipe I use to also bake a bundt cake. I don't put the Morsels in the cupcakes (or the bundt cake) I melt them with 1 T. butter and drizzle over the tops after dusting with powdered sugar
The Best

These cupcakes are delicious and so very easy to make. I sent them with my grandson to daycare and they were a big hit. The teachers asked for the recipe. Also, everyone in my husband's office raved about them

I made these for a birthday instead of regular cake. I iced half with chocolate and half with cream cheese icing. I put them on a plate with a scoop of ice cream. They were great. Everyone loved them young and old. I will make them again.

The triple chocolate cupcakes are OK.
Moist and Delicious

Peril99 from Texas

I tried these on a Family Christmas meal with cream cheese icing and decorated with red and green. A big HIT. These are moist, delicious and very chocolate. I froze some and pulled out two weeks later and just as good.
Triple Chocolate Cupcakes

Mary Nicholson from Jackson, NJ

These were such a success, that on Thanksgiving there were 10 desserts on the table and these cupcakes were the first and only dessert gone. Young and old loved them. They were easy and quick. I used half a bag of mini-morsels instead of the regular size. I used fluffy white icing instead of chocolate. I guess that made them only double chocolate instead of triple. Thumbs up on this one. I will make them over and over again. I have to, they are in high demand. Thanks for this winning receipe.

Julie Quevedo from Carpinteria, CA

I tried this recipe yesterday and they were delicious! The recipe is simple & quick for anyone that would need a dessert in a hurry. I used a chocolate fudge cake mix and chocolate fudge frosting. My cupcakes came out rich and moist. You definitely need a glass of milk to go with these! I made two batches of cupcakes and got 35 cupcakes from the first batch and 39 cupcakes from the second batch. The baking time of 25 minutes was correct. I would highly recommend this recipe to everyone who loves chocolate!!
