- I made these at work, and they were a HUGE success. I made the recipe just as is, except I made my own cream cheese frosting instead of getting it out of a can. They were everything a cupcake should be: moist and flavorful with a delightfully chocolatey interior.
- These muffins were a huge success at my home as well as my daughter's daycare. I used mini muffin tins so they would be smaller for my crew and they were quickly eaten up. Thank you for the recipe.
- Delicious and perfect for St. Patrick's Day dinner. I didn't have any miniture chocolate chips so used regular size without any problems. Thanks for sharing!
- Awesome! Made a trial for our IRELAND International Food Festival for kids class and they were DELICIOUS!! I used two medium size muffin tins lined them with muffin paper, filled 2/3 of way and yielded 24 CUPCAKES. A tasty, and moist kid-friendly CUPCAKE!! THANKS NURSE DI for Sharing!!!
- I made this for St. Patty's Day as well. Turned out great! My son loved them and my husband took some to work and they loved them! Only thing I did different is I didn't use any icing (too sweet)...they were perfect without any!
