P/S:
More Tips on Chocolate Cupcakes
1. While melting the chocolate, DO NOT put on the lid. We are not steaming the chocolate.
2. Try using chocolate chips, instead of whole chocolate bar. The smaller chips will melt faster.
3. Instead of almonds, you can use other nuts eg: chopped walnuts or pecans.
4. Try serving these warm mud cupcakes with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream, flaked almonds and topped with maschino cherries.
