Mini-Chocolate Cupcake Poppers

Chocolate is on my brain lately. I made chocolate cupcake poppers with chocolate frosting tonight. I'm taking them to my Thursday night bible study. I like to make popper size because there isn't a commitment to eat a huge piece of cake. I'm into downsizing my portions.

Another reason I like making mini cupcakes is the baking time is reduced, I get in and out of the kitchen faster.

While getting in and out of the kitchen tonight quickly, I didn't get a series of pictures of the baking process. And my frosting isn't very pretty. It kinda melted on me. But, hey, it's delicious. I'll share that recipe in a future blog post.

I don't remember where I got this recipe but here is my altered version of the recipe I found online.
