Brownie in cups

What does chocolate give to you ? If your answer is "pleasure" then we are the same :) Chocolate makes me happy and gives me feeling of excitement. The funny thing is I already feel the excitement only by looking at chocolate. Chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream, chocolate brownies, chocolate cookies, chocolate candy, chocolate bar, anything about chocolate. Mouth watering sweet temptations.

Same thing happened when I saw this recipe from Donna Hay. I was so excited to bake some. This actually a brownie cookies recipe, but something went wrong in the process. Thus, I put the batter into the paper cups and turned them into brownie cupcake :D But it was a pretty and yummy accident though !
