What a fabulous fabulous idea for a cupcake! I think I’m going to make these this weekend for my daughter’s 4th BDay – she loves chocolate and cherries (who doesn’t!). Where did you actually find the “Cherry” Frosting? I’ll have to do a search in my local grocery stores to see if I can find this kind of frosting.

Try different variations of chocolates and cherries….say, black cerries, and french chocolate, for example.
You dont like ANY chocolate?….I just dont understand how this can be….but oh well…is there any chocolate you like a little better than another> white, milk, dark? Belgian, french, german?
If you dont like chocolate in cupcakes, try something else, say ice cream or cookies? Or something you really like.
I would love to see you find some recipe of some sort with some kind of chocolate in it that you end up likeing…but, I am an unfailing chocolaholic optimist…

I made this the other day because I wanted to use up leftover chocolate icing and maraschino cherries. I added some cherry juice to the icing, but it still just tasted like chocolate. I’ve never seen premade cherry icing. I brought them to work and they were a big hit. They were amazing fresh out of the oven when the chocolate chips were still melty.

I loved this post and so of course I had to conquer the recipe. I did everything as stated except the frosting..made that homemade creamcheese with cherry jucie for flavoring. I took them to work and had rave reviews and many requests for the recipe. Fantastic!!

Betty Crocker sells containers of cherry frosting. That brand is readily available in most grocery stores. If you wanted, you could buy white frosting and add some finely, finely chopped (and drained) maraschino cherries. The cherries will makes the frosting a light shade of pink. You could add a drop of red food coloring to make it pinker. You could also add a little of the maraschino cherry juice. Don’t add too much juice because the frosting will get too thin and slide off the cupcakes.

YUM!!! Where do you find cherry flavored icing though? Do they make cherry flavored that you can buy at the grocery store? I’ll have to look. I LOVE Marachino cherries!

yum chocolate and cherry! I love this combo… reminds me of the cherry garcia ice cream from ben and jerry’s. I guess we all have foods we love and foods we hate but that’s what keeps food interesting. If everyone liked the same things, it’d be so boring. Thanks for making these they look delish

The reason I did this recipe is because I’m always getting requests for chocolate recipes for my blog. There are a lot of chocoloate lovers out there so I try to experiment with chocolate desserts every now and then — even though I’d never eat the stuff myself.
