If you know me you know I have a sweet tooth (usually for my Orange Crush Cupcakes). I am also a sucker for a chocolate cupcake! So I made it a point to find a good homemade chocolate cupcake recipe and this one is a favorite. I use it as a base in many recipes but this time, I used the recipe to make these campfire cupcakes. They are super easy to make and are perfect for any camping trip or BBQ! I love the salty sweet combination.
