These are good, but they didn’t work out as well as yours.
I couldn’t find the same kind of brownie mix or frosting as you used. I checked both grocery stores in town, and checked them both again a couple of weeks later, just in case they just happened to be out of stock the first time. No luck. So I got a milk chocolate brownie mix and threw in a handful of mini chocolate chips, and I got regular vanilla instead of french vanilla frosting….I’m sure french vanilla would have been better.
I wanted to make little ones, so I used a mini muffin tin with 24 wells. Then I still had a ton of batter so I also did a regular size muffin pan (silicone), and there was still more batter so I put it in a 6×6 pan. They all had to bake for different lengths of time, so I had to open the oven to check them several times. Maybe that is why all three kinds sunk in the middle??
I filled them 3/4 full, but only a few baked up high enough to cut the tops off…and since they sunk in the middle, the top was missing its center. Also, it says to use a lightly greased tin…I sprayed them all, and not just lightly, but they still all stuck to the pans. Grrrr.
Next step, I cut them in half to sandwich the frosting. I put the frosting in a little Ziploc bag and snipped a corner off to squeeze it on the cupcake bottoms. I don’t like fighting with crumbs and this makes frosting them easier and faster.
Well, they aren’t as pretty as yours, but they still taste good. Thanks for the recipe! 🙂

They taste great but mine stuck to the muffin pan and looked a mess. Perhsps I greased too lightly. I’m going to try in paper cups, as I would like a full cupcake, rather than a sandwich style. Thanks for the recipe! Great mistake!
