*I used almond and more vanilla extract rather than chocolate.
*The recipe says that it makes 8-9 cupcakes, but I got a full pan.
I had some leftover chocolate mousse in the fridge and strawberries were on sale, so tada. I'd been wanting to try this recipe for awhile, and my best friend's birthday on Sunday was the perfect excuse. She said they were "good, but sub-par". I haven't had one yet myself, so if anyone tries this recipe please let me know how it turns out!
