Recently I bought some fantastic organic chocolate drops. I've never heard of the brand but I trusted the store that I went since it usually sells quality goods. I went back home and tried it, and wow, it's got a really good chocolately taste and somehow, a hint of coffee to it. It was great but I wasn't gonna inhale the whole bag of it (not that I can't...erm...just didn't want to be a pig!!). And I didn't want to "waste" it on making cookies (since I don't really enjoy cookies) but I don't want to spend my whole day on making a cake. Sooo the finally solution, (other than eating the whole bag of it myself...let's share some of the calories with others!!:D) CUPCAKES! Not really a standard cake and definitely not a cookie!!
I used Chockylit's Devil's Food Cupcake with Chocolate Buttercream and it's truly utterly SINFUL! Plus I added (to another batch) peanut butter chips!!! Yup, I was googoo gaga over cupcakes that day! My cupcakes didnt' turn out as darkish brown as Chockylit's but it tasted GOOD!! I saved 6 for us (Ed, Ethan and I) and the rest were given to Ed's colleagues. I was labelled the diet breaker...hehehehhe....What the hell, you only live once...
I went online and check their other products; I WANT ALL THEIR CHOCOLATE!!!! Ok ok... the chocolate that I used was Dagoba Chocodrops 73% ( I like the bittersweets, less of other added stuff). And tomorrow I'll be hitting the grocery store again, this time I'll be stocking up on my Dagoba, they are also a little cheaper than Valrhona and Scharffen Bergen which I used pretty often... :) A really big plus!! Go to their website, they have other chocolate products and they even list the origins of the cocoa beans, how cool!

It does look sinful with that buttercream! Bet your boy loves the buttercream icing.
oh he loves the icing, which was why I had to scrape most of it off, too much sugar and butter...hehehe..
