Chocolate Lovers' Cupcakes

Happy Spring, Y’all!

I thought I’d go on a diet to get ready for summer bikini time…okay, that’s a lie.

My ghostly-white self will NEVER be in a bikini EVER! I did THINK about going on a diet. Then I got all depressed about how I never could eat “real” food again, so I made these Chocolate Lovers’ Cupcakes instead. I feel so much better!
