St. Patrick’s Day Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes

St. Patrick’s Day isĀ  just around the corner this Irish girl couldn’t be more excited! Mostly because I get to make these delicious chocolate Guinness treats and have a valid reason for it!

Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes

Ireland is famous for many things and Guinness needs no introduction. So what’s more festive than Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes? Don’t panic though, these cupcakes are irresistible to even the non-Guinness drinker!

My good friend Rachel’s birthday happens to fall just days before St. Patrick’s Day and at one particular gathering she presented the most delectable, moist Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes. I had such great intentions to bake them myself but college and life got in the way. Months later, I found myself looking online for something similar but every recipe was too complicated. I am no magician in the kitchen. If it’s got more than ten steps, I’m out. Combining some recipes and from what I remembered of Rachel’s instructions I concocted the Frankenstein of recipes and ended up with this one.
