Chocolate Cupcakes

Did you know that today is National Chocolate Cupcake Day? Neither did I until some friends mentioned it last night. I was told I couldn’t let the day pass without some sort of acknowledgement. (Apparently they think I like cupcakes! :)) So here, in no particular order, are my top 5 favorite chocolate cupcake recipes:

Black Magic Cream Filled Cupcakes – these are great for Halloween treats!
Homemade Hostess Cupcakes – These really do look and taste like hostess cupcakes (only better)!
Mini Colorful Chocolate Cupcakes – Simple, classic and pretty.
Fudge Mint Brownie Cupcakes – Hot fudge + minty cool whip + brownies = Cupcake Love
Dark Chocolate Cake with Hot Chocolate Buttercream Icing – Shown in cake form on my blog, these would make AMAZING chocolate cupcakes. Trust me.

Now go try one of these recipes and celebrate National Chocolate Cupcake Day!! 🙂
