Warm Chocolate Cupcakes

Gooey Chocolate Cupcakes

The wind is still crazy howling cold! But inside my cozy warm house, it's time for something comforting, like Chocolate Chunk Cupcakes. Chocolate elevates the endorphins which elevates your mood AND is good for us. But I'm not in the mood to spend hours in the kitchen, so I'll make these using a chocolate cake mix. That's right! A cake mix. It just takes a few minutes to stir up, bake and, Voila!, they will be ready to eat, gooey warm chocolate cupcakes right out of the oven. And by the way, they keep well for days...is they last that long! Stay warm, cozy and enjoy this special treat!
