I tried this new recipe off the food network site. Chocolate-Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes.
They turned out pretty well! I’m going to try them again with a few changes.
1. The cupcakes were really crumbly! I had to give my 2yr old a spoon so she could eat them. I think I’m just going to make a regular chocolate cupcake. The extra ingredients didn’t seems to enhance the flavor of the cupcake, just made it crumbly.
2. I LOVE the icing! I’m going to make this and put it on other things! I thought it could have been a bit firmer though, it was a little soft. Next time, I’m not going to use a purchased icing, I’ll make my own and make it a little thicker so when I add the chocolate mixture it’ll be a better spreading consistency.
3. Kroger brand maraschino cherries are terrible! They just don’t taste right, so I’ll use a different brand next time.
