These are great! I used peanut butter chips instead of the mini chocolate chips. Delicious!

I did half a batch. And it requested 5/8 cup of sugar but I used 3/8 cup. And that's perfect 
I used milk. I used regular chocolate chips. These cupcakes are moist and full of chocolate flavour. Thanks Kit Made for 123 hit wonders.

These cupcakes are wonderful! My husband and I had a sneak taste and Kit, our boys are going to love these. I used 1/2 special dark Hershey's cocoa and 1/2 regular cocoa. These cupcakes are chocolatey, moist and delicious! Thanks for a wonderful dessert~
