The flavor of these brownies is excellent. Haven't ever had brownies with almond extract as one of the flavors and wasn't sure how I would like it - but I did. I had way more batter than I needed for twelve cupcakes - put some in a small pan that I use for making hamburger buns and what I did put in the cupcake liners rose up and over the edges - think this makes more like 18-24 cupcakes - will try this again.

This recipe was wonderful. It was simple to beat the sugar with the melted butter (without the need to dirty anything electrical) and the taste of the batter was the most delicious thing I have ever had. I had to force myself to actually bake this into cupcakes as I just wanted to spread the lovely fudgy batter onto bread and eat it! I cut back the almond essence a little and increased the vanilla a little as a personal preference. Also because I made it in smaller muffin tins I reduced the cooking time to about 15minutes and it worked perfectly and wasn't dry at all with a light and moist texture. I did whisk it rather firmly though in the early stages and lightly folded in the chocolate chips at the end. I tend to follow recommended baking times very loosely as every oven varies and I test to see if the cupcakes are cooked a bit earlier and then adjust the remaining time.

Canadian girl that loves to cook for herself and for everyone around her!! I always enjoyed cooking but more so since I started taking better care of myself by eating healthier food (I am a Weight Watchers Lifetime member!). I still love my chocolate though!
