    Triple Chocolate Cupcakes Recipe. Moist chocolate cupcakes filled with a brownie batter and topped with a luscious chocolate frosting. Chocolate lovers only!

    Chocolate.. one of the loves of my life. Meet a triple chocolate cupcake that is CHOCOLICIOUS! 🙂 

    brownie batter stuffed into cupcake batter in a cupcake pan before baking


    I ate the batter left over from the brownie batter. As I poured out the chocolate chips I "accidentally" missed the bowl, so I ate those that fell out. I licked the bowl from the cupcake batter. I ate the tops of two cupcakes as soon as they came out of the oven. Five minutes later I took care of the rest of those two cupcakes. I tasted the frosting about 5 different times, licked that bowl and ate the leftover frosting. I have a PROBLEM!

    Anyways all 3 parts are delicious on their own but together they are just scrumptious!! 

    *I did these cupcakes over two days but you could do the brownie batter in the early morning and do the cupcakes in 8 hours or so*
