1

Pre heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit with the rack in the middle.

2

Make the frosting with either the Chocolate or Cream Cheese flavors, set aside.

3

In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, using a spatula combine the eggs, sugar, vanilla and buttermilk until smooth.

4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients and stir with a spatula until well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

5

Place mini cupcake liners in the muffin pan. Fill the liners only halfway (no more!)

6

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out virtually crumb free.

7

Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting.

8

You can frost with a spatula or a piping bag with tip. Top with a few mini chocolate chips or sprinkles.

9

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered for up to 5 days.

You want the eggs, butter and buttermilk at room temperature so they mix together consistently and so that you don't cook the eggs while mixing.
