  1. Uhhhhh, Miss Claire, these dreamy cupcakes can stand up to anything else on the market!!! Absolutely fabulous. I did not change the recipe at all, however, I didn't have the mini chips. I went to YOUR old HEB, but they didn't have them, so I used regular size chips. At the bottom of the bowl, I added about 1/4 cup more chips. Really and truly a wonderful dessert. Thanks.
     
  2. Claire, these are delicious! I admit, I had some question about using apple cider vinegar in a chocolate cupcake recipe, but it does work! I made them exactly like the recipe called for and they were absolutely delicious, rich and flavorful! Thanks for sharing this one, Claire!
     
  3. I just loved these! The cream cheese topping is delightful. I was generous in my dolloping so had to make another half batch of the cream cheese mix to finish them all. I don't usually eat chocolate things but these are really great and I'll be making them again.
     
  4. Talk about moist and delicious. The cream cheese cooked into the top is so unique. These were well liked at the neighborhood get together. I will definitely make these a lot. Thanks for the recipe!!
     
  5. I made these as a thank-you gift for my grandparents. Of course, one cannot send out edible gifts without quality control- my husband and I both sampled. My husband went back for seconds, which is quite rare for him, especially just after a nice little dinner. He told me twice that these were really good, then asked whose recipe it was: he sends his thanks for such delightful goodies. Really excellent, rich chocolate flavour, and the cream cheese topping is a wonderful counterpoint. Bravo.

  1. Using the vinegar is like making Wacky cake, which I love, so I knew I would love these chocolate cup cakes. They were delicious! I used 1 c. Dove chocolate pieces in place of the chocolate chips and each bite was wonderful to me! These will be made again and enjoyed!
