BROWNIE CUPCAKES

When it comes to making these super easy brownie cupcakes the trick is all in how you bake them. Start by preparing a box of Betty Crocker™ Fudge Brownie Mix according to the instructions. Then, instead of baking them in a single pan, divide the batter into a muffin tin to create 18 perfectly portioned cupcake-style brownies. All that's left to do is to frost and decorate them anyway you like. Serve them after dinner, at birthdays, parties and potlucks. They're the perfect - and cutest - way to serve brownies no matter what the occasion.

  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cupcakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full: Overfilling the cupcake liners will cause the cupcakes to overflow and make a mess in your oven.
  • Bake the cupcakes at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven will affect the way the cupcakes cook. Bake the cupcakes at the temperature specified in the recipe.
  • Don't overbake the cupcakes: Overbaking the cupcakes will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
