These are okay, I had higher expectations. I thought the frosting wasn't that great, so I used cream cheese frosting instead. I will admit this recipe is really easy, but it's missing the WOW! factor, people will tell me they are good, but no one would ask me for the recipe.

If you would like a little stiffer frosting, increase the whipped topping by about 1/4 cup. This can also be used as a substitute for 7 minute frosting for other cakes.

The taste just was not there for me. Thought it was a good idea, but just was right for me.

Don't you love something chocolatey that makes you feel so wicked good right down to your toes!?! And BONUS if it is easier on your healthy-eating habits. And TRIPLE bonus if it is not a complicated recipe. These Chair Brownie Cupcakes are yummerific!

Anxious to try this one...we love a simple cupcake...love chai flavor. The topping sounds really good too.

Pretty good, but a little sweet for my taste!

This recipe works best using premium Chai Tea bags. I've found that the more perfumed and fragrent, the better. The combination of the deep flavors of chocolate and Chai Spice and the lightness of the froth work extremely well together. Kind of a Yin Yang cupcake.

Sorry, I thought I would like this but was fooled, but that's just my taste, I'm sure others will like it.
