Hey Lovelies! So a couple of week ago a was going through a major dark chocolate phase. Dark chocolate everything, dark chocolate pretzels, dark chocolate macadamia nuts, dark chocolate brownies, and the list goes on. When I was in this obsession I decided to whip up this Amazing Dark Chocolate Frosting and wowza was it good!
I made some dark chocolate brownie cups using my mini cupcake pan and used Duncan Hines dark chocolate brownie mix. The mixture together is so rich and delicious, you deffinetly need a glass of milk with them.
I placed them on these cute mini cupcake stands. You can find similar ones here. I love having cupcake stands and cake stands. They always make the cutest accents at parties and when your not using them I love to place them on top of my kitchen cabinets.
This frosting is super simple and quick to make. When making this it gets super think, at first I was like uh oh this is not coming out right! But it came out perfect at the end. I wanted to share a quick tip about frosting. Whenever I fill up my bag for piping I have found the it makes life so much easier if you stuff your bag in a cup and then press your frosting into with a spatula. It is way faster and not as messy when I do this. Make sure to cut the whole in your bag and stick your frosting tip in before you put the frosting in.
