Ingredients

  • ½  cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½  cup milk chocolate chips
  • ½  cup butter NOT margarine
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 14 to 16 oz. package fudge brownie mix
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate milk
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400℉. Spray 12 muffin cups with nonstick baking spray and set aside.
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine both kinds of chocolate chips and butter.
  • Microwave on high power for 1 minute, stirring twice during cooking, or until chocolate and butter are melted and mixture is smooth.
  • Cool for 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine eggs and egg yolks and beat at high speed for 5 minutes until foamy, light in color, and doubled in size.
  • If there is one, set aside the chocolate syrup packet from brownie mix.
  • Gradually add the dry brownie mix to the beaten egg mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until well blended.
  • Fold in melted chocolate mixture and chocolate milk. Carefully pour batter into prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake at for 10 to 14 minutes or just until edges are set.
  • The centers of the little cakes will be soft. Cool on a wire rack for 2 minutes.
  • Then run a knife around the edge of each cake to loosen, then invert warm cake on each serving plate.
  • Drizzle with the chocolate syrup from the reserved packet and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  • If there isn't a chocolate syrup packet in the brownie mix, drizzle the cupcakes with some chocolate ice cream topping.
