oh my, I can’t wait to try these. My husband loves spice cake, and we both love chai tea, so this seems like a great dessert for us. Now i just need a reason to make cupcakes! How about it’s tuesday…is that enough of a reason? 
Alison - September 7, 2010 - 9:56 am
Saw your recipe on FoodGawker next to mine. Looks fabulous! Love your site! 
TheKitchenWitch - September 7, 2010 - 10:35 am
MMMMM, nothing sexier than a picture of my man with a Clorox wipe in his hand! Well, okay, these cupcakes come close. 
Georgia @ The Comfort of Cooking - September 7, 2010 - 10:45 am
These look incredible! I love the little flecks of chai spice (and, homemade spice – impressive!) in the frosting. Great job on these! 
Krystal R. - September 7, 2010 - 11:36 am
Awesome Jess, I can’t believe I won!!! I was laughing at your post on the part about the food porn pics. I totally picture a KA mixer with the chewy ooey gooey brownies…that’s hot!

 Screw dogs! Chocolate and flowers is a girl’s best friend! Whether it be a bad day, your “special” time, or for your birthday…chocolate should always be on the menu!

Me wants this dessert now! You had me at chocolate and then you went an added an Espresso Butter cream Frosting. Looks amazing. Cheers! 
katie o. - August 31, 2010 - 6:07 am
Oh lordy….it’s only 7am and I’m already staring at cupcakes. This can’t be a good thing. Then again, those are espresso cupcakes so that’s kind of like breakfast, right? 
Theresa - August 31, 2010 - 6:40 am
Oh wow, those look so yummy! Coffee AND chocolate? YES! 
shelly (cookies and cups) - August 31, 2010 - 7:40 am

Samarie is lucky to have you. And those lovely cupcakes. 
Roti n Rice - August 31, 2010 - 8:40 am
Those chocolate cupcakes sure do look good and the chocolate decorations are a nice touch. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. 
Mrs. Mayhem - August 31, 2010 - 8:49 am
The cupcakes and frosting both sound amazing. Thanks so much for the tip about melting chocolate to make decorations. I never would have thought of doing that, and it’s lovely. 
SuziCate - August 31, 2010 - 12:58 pm

Tiaras should indeed be worn whenever possible (I own four for variety). These look beautiful and very professional…nothing novice-looking about them! 
ErinsFoodFiles - September 1, 2010 - 7:47 am
I would love one of those right now… I had to get up WAY too early, so espresso would be nice. So would a cupcake. LOL 
Samarie - September 2, 2010 - 2:26 pm
Thank you so much for my cupcakes! They were to die for, and thanks for posting the picture and letting everyone know that a tiara is a must have. Love ya!

You and your amazing cupcakes! These are right up my alley – can’t wait to try them! : )

these cupcakes look delish! i love the chocolate accents on the frosting. (BTW: i lol’d at the vanilla for ‘unadventurous losers’ comment!) 
ingrid - September 4, 2010 - 8:48 pm
Hey, watch it, sista! Chocolate adds to a dessert but if you left it out you’d still have something delicious. Leave out vanilla and your dessert is just okay. Love the chocolate garnishes you made. They added a lovely touch. ~Vanilla rulz!, ingrid 
Clare @ Mrs Multitasker - September 5, 2010 - 8:06 pm

LOL! Oh dear, Brody’s face is too priceless! In some of these, he’s giving you the rebellious “WHAT?” look. I just made Ferrero Rocher and Reese’s cupcakes — great minds think alike! I loved your 100 Grand Cupcakes post, too — it’s just a candy cupcake kinda time 
Erica - August 27, 2010 - 9:04 am
First of all…how FREAKING cute is your dog? What breed is he? Adorable. And those cupcakes look heavenly. I usually go hide in a corner when i’ve pigged out on too many cupcakes too. 
Lainey_Elizabeth - August 27, 2010 - 9:35 am
HOLY MOLY!!! I love Ferrero Rocher! I can’t wait to try these! 
Adrienne - August 27, 2010 - 9:47 am
This has me cracking up! Your dog is freaking cute. Not to mention these look delish. But really, your dog is just freaking cute. 
DeAnna - August 27, 2010 - 9:47 am
OMG! That was hysterical. The look on his face in the first pic is priceless! 
Courtney @ Ice Cream & Wine - August 27, 2010 - 10:32 am
OMG, I die for Nutella (actually, Justin’s Chocolate Hazelnut Butter is my vice – but one in the same). These look great! Have you seen those commercials for Ferrero Rocher during the holiday season? They say it in a sultry voice, and now I have stuck in my head! 
amy donovan - August 27, 2010 - 10:32 am
wow, these look amazing! definitely going to try them out. + oh yeah, you have such a cute dog. the story about his chocolate obsession is hysterical!

Grace - August 27, 2010 - 2:00 pm
Have you been reading my mind? All week I have been obsessing over not only creamy Nutella but also Ferrero Rochers! I can almost taste it now. Give that dog another cupcake 
Barbara Bakes - August 27, 2010 - 3:28 pm
I think I haven’t fully understand the cupcake advantages until now. Or maybe I just haven’t been using enough Nutella and candy on top. They sound fabulous. Obviously Brody thought so. 
X-Tina - August 27, 2010 - 8:45 pm
B-R-O-D-Y!!!! Not only does he love chocolate, he loves bread and anything left on the table. And he is an Empanada thief!! He managed to open up a tray of empanadas and eat about 5 of them…Still love him and miss him!!!

Joanne - August 28, 2010 - 7:02 am
I’m a cupcake lover as well. For many reasons. One – it’s easier to blog about cupcakes. People don’t seem to like them when you present them with a cake with a slice cut out of it. And so I usually only get pictures of the uncut cake. Not as fun. Cupcakes are also portion-sized. And occasionally I can control myself and only have one. Rather than cutting a huge slice of cake and calling it a portion. I do love ferrero rocher…something about hazelnut and chocolate that is so addicting. These look amazing! 
Marcellina - August 28, 2010 - 7:39 pm
Your dog is absolutely adorable!!! Yes, our first dog loved chocolate, too! Great cupcakes! No need for frosting when they are filled with nutella and topped with a Ferrero Rocher! YUM! 
Katie - August 29, 2010 - 10:14 am
Oh my goodness, what a cutie pie Brody is! 
Kerstin - August 29, 2010 - 9:01 pm
Aww, your doggy is so cute! You always make the best cupcakes and these are no exception – they look fabulous, who doesn’t love Nutella? 
Beth - August 30, 2010 - 11:50 am
OMG, I have a seven year old cocker that loves chocolate and has never gotten sick either. Not even when he jumped onto the dining room table and knocked off an entire chocolate fudge cake and ate every bite. BTW – Braody is adorable. Maybe it’s a cocker thing.

I have a mad obsession for cupcakes and 100 Grand is my fav candy so this post pretty much just rocked my world!!! Love!!!! 
Jacob's Kitchen - August 21, 2010 - 2:27 pm
I’m so glad you friended me on foodbuzz. Your site is really lovely, and your photography is an inspiration. These cupcakes sounds SO good! I used to love 100 grands growing up, and I don’t think I have had one in about ten years. You’re right, they ARE the best candy bar ever in the history of the world. And what a perfect excuse to go buy one! Thanks for sharing! 
Janna M - August 21, 2010 - 2:35 pm

These look deeevine and I could seriously take some frosting tips for you. I’m impressed you stuck with it and got it perfect on the 2nd try
Barbara Bakes - August 22, 2010 - 10:19 pm
Great tip to freeze the candy bars. You pictures are gorgeous! Sounds like a cupcake I could love. 
Nicole - August 22, 2010 - 10:35 pm
I made these tonight! They are amazing. I think the salted caramel frosting is the best part. One thing that I did was cut up the candy bars first, then stuck them back in the freezer until I was ready for them. Also, I knew the batter would be thin (since you stated that) but at one point I needed to check the recipe to be sure I added everything! It’s quite runny, but turned out perfect! I can’t wait to share these cupcakes tomorrow! Thank you! 
Lisa-Marie - August 23, 2010 - 2:52 am

Oh my goodness, these are to die for! My dad used to sneak me 100 Grand bars which his co-worker (who also worked in the candy business) dropped off in a big box of every week, so needless to say it quickly became my all-time favorite candy. You’ve definitely done the candy justice with this incredible recipe! I would gladly pay you for just one bite of these! 
Betty @ scrambled hen fruit - August 23, 2010 - 6:06 pm

Oh I really like this! I have a book called Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World but I hate having to make all of those cupcakes for just me. My hubby won’t touch them or any other delicious dessert. Now I want to go make cupcakes! 
Debbie - August 9, 2010 - 3:05 am
This is amazing! Also really useful when you’re in a rush, make up a batch when you’re lazing around, then ready to defrost and pop in the oven when you have people over and no time to bake. Perfect! Maybe I’ll double my batch today to try it.

I wonder if you could just scoop them into the cupcake liner and freeze it that way. Then you could just defrost them and pop them in the oven. Jen, It really was super easy to thaw and pipe into the cupcake tins! 
Cassie - August 9, 2010 - 11:44 am
Good to know! I love baking cupcakes, but hate having all the extras around the house. Now I don’t have to worry about halfing a recipe or throwing out any extra batter. Thanks! 
Patti - August 9, 2010 - 12:24 pm
I am a pastry chef for a restaurant group in DC (two restaurants, a cafe and a catering company) We make cupcake and muffin batters in batches of 100+ lbs each week and pop them into the freezer the minute we make them. We take the tubs out the night before and leave them in the walk-in and they are good to use for the next day, fresh as if made that morning.

Carol - August 10, 2010 - 7:55 am
What a great idea! I’ve shied away from making batches of cupcakes with just 2 of us here-way too temping to overeat them, and though I could freeze them, it takes up space that I need for other things. Freezing the batter is definitely the perfect solution. Off to make some cupcakes….thanks so much!
