Ingredients

For the cupcakes –

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• ½ cup cocoa powder

• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 12-cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter, egg, egg yolk, and Chocolate with Chocolate Chips Dessert Dip.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Then add the hot water and whisk again until you have a smooth batter.
