The bottom of the cupcake - the chips drop to the bottom making it seem as if there is a fudgy frosting surprise on the bottom of the cupcake as well as frosting on top!
SINGLE LADY
CUPCAKE
A cupcake in a jiffy! Sometimes one doesn’t want a dozen cupcakes
sitting around to tempt one but the craving is strong and you can satisfy it
quickly and relatively safely with this super easy recipe. I made one, frosted it and tasted it, liked it and made another and invited hubby to tea - okay coffee for him. LOL We had a tea/coffee date which we often do on our mountain in the jungle and sometimes we have a Miller Lite date. I don't like diet soda but I do like Miller Lite. I like champagne but cannot stand wine. It's funny when I go places, people usually offer me wine or a cocktail and are surprised when I ask for beer instead. Haha!! Why can't a lady enjoy a beer without seeming unlady-like? Truth be known I hardly drank anything in Canada during those 30 years that we lived in the cold, white North, but I find nowadays the beer relaxes me better than anything else will..

Serve immediately.
Helpful Hints: If using the chocolate chips,
they will sink to the bottom of the cupcake, which is almost like having a
frosted bottom and top to the cupcake. My microwave oven is 1200 Watts. You may need to cook yours a little less or a
little longer depending on the wattage of your microwave oven.
