Reviews forDouble Chocolate Cupcakes

"I doubled this recipe and used 3 whole eggs. I also doubled the amount of cocoa (to 1/2 cup per recipe) and the chocolate chips (to 1/2 cup per recipe). I replaced the water with milk. And I used a buttercream frosting to fill them instead of frosting them. The double recipe made 40 cupcakes. Yum!"
"These are the best thing when I need a chocolate fix. Am working on another batch, everybody at work gobbled them up."
"Used regular size dark chocolate chips. Sprinkled cooled cupcakes with powdered sugar. Very good!"
"A tiny bit dry"
"I made these with gluten free flour, they turned out great!! I used 1/2 cup cocoa powder and reduced the flour to 1 1/3 cups. I mixed 1/2 cup of chips with flour & cocoa so they didn't fall to bottom. It made 6 JUMBO muffins. YUMMY!!!"
"Great light treat for when you're having a chocolate craving. I made exactly as written and they came out fine but my batter only made 12 as well (not 14)."
"Looked picture perfect out of the oven! Added an extra 1/2 cup of the miniature chocolate chips!"
"This is a good recipe for when you're craving chocolate but don't want a whole lot of calories."
"These were great, however I did make a few changes. I used 2% milk in place of the buttermilk. I also mixed the chocolate chips into the batter and had no problem with them sticking to the pan - also sprinkled chocolate chips on top. The biggest change I made was I added a bit more flour, and poured the mixture into jumbo muffin pans. Tasted just like a jumbo muffin without all the fat and calories! Recipe made 6. Will absolutely make again, my hubby had no clue that they were a healthier version of a family favorite!"
