There are days I could eat nothing but chocolate. Today was one of those days. Good thing I had already planned on making these cupcakes. As a member of Foodbuzz I get opportunities to test drive food products as part of a Tastemakers program. Since I often stock up on cake mixes I was pretty giddy about trying the Duncan Hines mixes and Comstock Wilderness Fruit Fillings.
Generally, I am not a huge fan of chocolate cake. It has to be extremely moist -- almost brownie stage to get my vote. But I really wanted to try The Triple Chocolate Duncan Hines Cake. I think it may have been the word Triple next to the word Chocolate.
I decided to combine the Wilderness Strawberry Filling, the cake mix and the Duncan Hines chocolate glaze into a wickedly delicious gooey cupcake. (I usually make my own fruit fillings, I like them way better. But this went really nicely with this recipe.)
MMMMM!! It may be messy. You may need a fork. It is really moist and a little fruity. And I think I am in chocolate love.
And just for fun. The first four comments get a coupon for one free Duncan Hines product. Anything you want, including their Apple Caramel cake mix which just looked incredible. Just tell me your fave flavor of cake.
