Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
11 ounces best-quality semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, (optional)
Nonstick cooking spray
Mrs. Milman's Chocolate Frosting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-count muffin tin with cupcake liners, and spray generously with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and 8 ounces of chocolate. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar. Add flour, cocoa, and baking soda. Stir in the melted chocolate until combined. Stir in remaining 3 ounces of chocolate and nuts if desired.
  • Using a 2-ounce ice cream scoop, fill cupcake liners 3/4 full with batter. Bake until a firm crust forms on the cupcakes, about 20 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool, about 10 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pan, and continue to cool on a wire rack.
  • Ice cupcakes with a generous amount of chocolate frosting.

Tips:

  • Use a muffin pan lined with paper liners to make the cupcakes. This will help them bake evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense cupcakes.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the cupcakes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them.
  • For the buttercream frosting, use unsalted butter and bring it to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help the frosting to be smooth and creamy.
  • Add a few drops of food coloring to the frosting to make it any color you like.
  • Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes using a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
  • Top the cupcakes with Halloween sprinkles or other decorations of your choice.

Conclusion:

These Trick-or-Treat Brownie Cupcakes are a fun and festive way to celebrate Halloween. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their rich chocolate flavor and creamy buttercream frosting, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit at your Halloween party.
