Yep…LIFE by chocolate is the perfect name for these. Moist, flavorful and the look so pretty when done. I’ve made them several times and can’t imagine my life being complete without them. Never need to google “chocolate cupcake recipe” ever again!

These were delicious! I made a double recipe for my brother’s 18th birthday and we came out with 5 dozen! This makes way more than 18!

Made these for a friend’s birthday, except since I was in a time crunch I made ganche the easy way (cool whip + bakers chocolate melted down.)
They were a hit! And so delicious!

I used the frozen, pitted, cherries and kisses. Definitely was a nice extra treat.

Made them with the best frosting ever (your blog post) and they were amazing! Not too chocolatey, just right. Will make again! I think I’ll make them black forest cake style next time.

I made these cupcakes for Valentine’s Day this year and brought them into work. Not only were they a hit with the coworkers, but my boyfriend now insists I put Hershey Kisses in every single cupcake I make!

I don’t think I’ll make the cupcake part of this recipe again, at least with the Hershey’s chocolate kiss in them. Half the cupcakes the kisses fell out of the bottom….and the ones that stayed in didn’t really add anything (but a shock for those people eating them who didn’t realize what they were biting in to — one co-worker exclaimed “oh my god what fell in the batter, gross!”). Maybe a different type of chocolate that might melt in the oven would taste better? I tried a different frosting (and had issues with that as well, so perhaps it was not “my day” for baking) so I can’t comment on the ganache.
