I decided to make these cupcakes for my dads birthday and to be quite honest, I didnt love them. The only person that actually "liked" these were my Dad. Before you make these make sure you know that it has a very mature flavor that not many people enjoy. It was a good cupcake- as all of Betty Crocker's are, but the frosting was much to strong for everyone else.

These cupcakes look like such a great idea...but I'm having no end of trouble with the frosting. Followed the recipe to a T but the frosting refuses to set even though I've left it in the fridge overnight and just falls off the cupcakes. Now, this is probably entirely my fault so I will be attempting these again. For now, I've managed to salvage the situation by scooping a small amount of the 'frosting' into each cupcake as a filling and then spreading a thin layer on top as a sort of glaze. I do agree with the other members though - adding some sort of coffee flavouring would really make this recipe pop!

Does anyone know if we can use half & half or Heavy cream instead of milk?

These cupcakes were really good! I only used 2 cups of powdered sugar and it was plenty sweet! I let the butter/brown sugar mixture cool longer and didn't have problems with the consistency. Will Definitely make it again! (maybe even try the 2 layer cake idea another reviewer mentioned)

I made these as mini cupcakes and got 40 bitesized pieces of heaven..I worked in a candy store for 5 years and my weakness was the penuche fudge..these brought me back, i'll tell ya! I cooked the mini's for 14 minutes and used a ziplock bag to pipe in the frosting, which made the process go more smoothly. I put the mixture in the frige for about 45 minutes before I mixed in the sugar and didn't have a problem with the consistency. These are my new favorite cupcake and I plan to make them again soon..and often! Thank you!
