Amazing cupcake! I didn't care much for the caramel drizzle or fondant, so I didn't bother with that. After reading the reviews, I chose not to make the frosting prescribed by this recipe. Instead, I made the Peanut Butter Fudge frosting from the Expresso Dark Brownie cupcake recipe (also from Cupcake Wars, and it went so well with this recipe! I would recommend everyone to try that. Some other recommendations I would make is definitely cut the recipe for the Cookie Dough filling in half. I made only half, and still had plenty left over. I was worried about getting the bitter taste as mentioned by a previous review, so I made sure I mixed the cocoa powder really well, and didn't end up with that problem. Other than that, this cupcake is a chocolate lover's dream!

So. Very. Good. We didn't use the fondant or caramel drizzle, but otherwise followed the recipe. One thing I would note is that the bake temperatures and times may be for convection ovens. In my conventional oven they needed to cook much longer. The cake was very good, the frosting was amazing, and the cookie dough was also quite good. I would definitely recommend these.

Everyone loved the cupcakes. At first we were very discouraged by a review below but then decided to make them anyways and I'm so glad we did. : they're amazing. To prevent a bitter taste make sure your unsweetened cocoa powder is completely mixed. That's pretty much it..

I was extremely disappointed in these cupcakes. The chocolate cake was moist, but very bitter and unpleasant -- much like unsweetened cocoa. I could tell from reading the recipe that it would not be very sweet and thought that the chocolate chip dough center and the frosting would take care of the cakes lower sweetness. All in all the three parts of this cupcake that seem like they should go together ultimately stand alone. When you put a bite of all three parts in your mouth you are still overwhelmed by the lack of flavor from the cake. I ended up throwing them out as I didn't even want to take them to work and have this kind of flavor associated with something that I made. Do not waste your time. These were for the monster jam challenge, and they were a monster fail. Cute idea, but didn't deliver on taste at all.
