½ cup unsalted butter (113 grams (1 stick))
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips (85 grams)
2 large eggs (100 grams)
¾ cup granulated sugar (150 grams)
½ cup all-purpose flour (60 grams)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (4 grams)
½ batch Chocolate Buttercream (click for recipe)

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray a cupcake tin with nonstick spray or line 9 of the wells with paper liners. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate chips over medium-low heat. Once melted, set aside and allow to completely cool.

BROWNIE CUPCAKES



Brownie Cupcakes image

When it comes to making these super easy brownie cupcakes the trick is all in how you bake them. Start by preparing a box of Betty Crocker™ Fudge Brownie Mix according to the instructions. Then, instead of baking them in a single pan, divide the batter into a muffin tin to create 18 perfectly portioned cupcake-style brownies. All that's left to do is to frost and decorate them anyway you like. Serve them after dinner, at birthdays, parties and potlucks. They're the perfect - and cutest - way to serve brownies no matter what the occasion.
