These are the cupcakes we made when a TV crew came and did a feature on us back in February. The batter is made jet black with black cocoa powder and there's also a generous amount of chocolate chips to enjoy! We used white chocolate and freeze-dried strawberries for the simple decorations. If given some time, the dried strawberries won't fall off of the cupcakes even without the chocolate. These cupcakes make great gifts.
