The boys look forward to is helping me bake, not only do they love making a mess mixing ingredients but they love devouring the finished product. Besides dinner, one day a week we like to make one new dessert recipe. After looking for a Chocolate Chip Cupcake recipe, I decided on one that I found at My Baking Addiction. Instead of the usual butter-cream frosting that I make for cupcakes we deiced to use Chocolate Cool Whip Frosting topped with chocolate sprinkles, as you can tell our family loves chocolate! Growing up I used to always hate the sugary frosting on cakes made at the grocery store, I used to always request whipped topping so I was excited to see a new Cool Whip Chocolate Frosting available from Kraft.

This Chocolate Chip Cupcakes Recipe was so delicious and I loved the cool creamy texture of the cool whip frosting. I’m thinking about using it to make a triffle this week. Chocolate heaven!
