“I made a GF version but I'm going to rate this anyway because this is really two recipes in one. I used a "from scratch" GF dark chocolate cupcake adding the ancho and the cayenne as in the instructions. I made the frosting and thought it needed to be spicier,” — a cook, 5★
“We just returned from a Chili Cook-off at our church. I made chili and these cupcakes. Before the voting results were announced, the pastor said, "First of all.... I want to recognize all the praises that were for those Chili Cupcakes. They were wonderful!!" S” — a cook, 5★
