"Everyone in my house loved these. After watching the recipe video and reading the one posted here there are things I noticed that are different. First of all Ina uses a muffin pan which is slightly larger than a regular cupcake pan which is why I got 18 instead of 12. She is right that you need to fill them "almost" to the top as they rise very little. She doesn't use cupcake papers, the recipe says to, I thought it was easier to use them. They are dense kind of like a brownie and rich but not too sweet which is good because the chocolate topping would be too much if they were. I found them good frosted or unfrosted and followed the recipe exactly. They were very easy to make and I just used a teaspoon to frost them and kind of pushed it out toward the edges. Ina says dip them, but in the video she holds them over the bowl and spoons it on. I didn't find the violets which was disappointing as they are a nice touch, but they are still delicious.
