Chocolate Frosting
Preparation 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 24 regular muffin cups with paper or foil cupcake liners. 2. Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions. Mix in 1 additional egg. Fill the cups half full with brownie batter. Place about 1 tablespoon chocolate chips in the center of each cupcake. 3. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the cupcakes are set. Remove from oven and cool cupcakes on wire rack. 4. Prepare frosting. In a small sauce pan or in the microwave, melt the butter. Pour the melted butter into a medium bowl and stir in the cocoa. With mixer on low speed, add the powdered sugar, alternately with the milk. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat frosting until smooth and good spreading consistency. If frosting is too thick, add a small amount of additional milk. Stir in vanilla. Frost cooled cupcakes. Store cupcakes in an airtight container. Return to How to make Cupcakes
