Triple Chocolate Cupcakes By Kelly Miller • June29,2015 • Updated December 2, 2021 • 5 Comments 475 Jump to Recipe Devil’s food chocolate cake mix with miniature chocolate chips and milk chocolate buttercream frosting – these are the best chocolate cupcakes ever! I’m a horrible, horrible daughter. My dad reads my blog every day. And I made chocolate cupcakes. And didn’t give him any. I’m sorry dad! 🙁 In my defense, your two grandsons BEGGED me for a cupcake – and then Paul had to take them to work for a bake sale to benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand. So, it was for a good reason. I know he’s going to bug me about when I’m making him a batch. Good thing these Triple Chocolate Cupcakes were insanely easy, and so incredibly good – I will have no problem making a 2nd batch of these babies anytime! I’m a huge fan of doctoring up cake mixes to taste homemade and I’m telling you, NO ONE will be able to tell these started with a devil’s food mix. The secret is in the miniature chocolate chips. Don’t be tempted to use regular sized chocolate chips – they’ll just sink to the bottom of the cupcakes and melt. The miniature ones stay put and you get a nice pocket of chocolate in every bite.
