These were/are fabulous despite me accidentally leaving out the eggs !! I used peppermint choc chips and the they were made in a jiffy ! Made for the Think Pink tag game. -
I love these because they are fast and easy-no frosting needed. And, they aren't so sweet, DH will sometimes take for a breakfast snack. Thank you, Kathy, for a great recipe! Made for the Think Pink Tag Game In Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness, October 2008. -
I made these for my honey to take up to his snowmobiling excursion in the U.P....I think the boys will love them. -
I've been making these cupcakes for years and we love them!:)The only thing I change is substituting egg beaters for eggs to lower the cholesterol and I use mini chips on top instead of the regular size. They're very quick to throw together and make a half batch easily, which is what I usually do! :) Thanks! -
I started to submit this as a recipe of mine... it's the same except for the name :) Cocoa Pink Cuplets is what mine is called. I think it came from my grandma... ANYWAY!! :) I love these cupcakes! The chocolate chips and nuts on top, rather than frosting, is a wonderful change of pace!!! :~)
