Dirt Cupcakes

Sounds appetizing right? Well, maybe this will change your mind…

I'm gonna have to say, The frosting is the best part -- its a FUDGE frosting

Oooh they taste as good as they look! They are absolutely amazing. Alright, so everything I put on here I'm going to think it is amazing.. BUT I found that the best way to keep them moist is to – after they come out of the oven, let them cool only slightly, so when they are still warm out of the oven put them into a container (it would take multiple containers to fit all of them) and then leave it out at room temperature and continue eating them from there.

You want to make these now don't you... :) well preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl combine
2 cups of all purpose flour
2 1/4 cups of sugar
3/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 Tablespoon of Vanilla
8 ounces of sour cream
pour into cupcake liners about 2/3 full (CAREFUL they rise!) and back for about 16 to 18 minutes

easy right?

now for the delectable frosting --

In a medium saucepan, combine
1 cup of Heavy Cream
1 cup of Sugar
bring to a boil over medium-high heat. then reduce to a simmer for 6 minutes, stirring frequently. now take the saucepan of the heat and add the
5 ounces of unsweetened chocolate squares
1 stick of butter
once melted and smooth, let cool for 10 minutes
then whisk in 1 cup of confectioners' sugar and set aside.

now, place 30 to 40 chocolate sandwich cookies into a resealable plastic bag. now start CRUSHING!
Once you have put the frosting on the cupcakes, sprinkle the frosting with cookie crumbs and top it off with gummy worms :)
