Cupcakes!

I was sifting through some WW-friendly desserts online the other night and saw this one for chocolate-orange cupcakes. My uncle seemed to obsess over chocolate-orange things while we were all on my trip together and so, thinking of him and knowing he would be in town this wkend, I ended up trying them out in honor of him. I re-calculated everything for myself on myfitnesspal.com (& then on the WW calculator) because I made some changes. I didn't have any orange extract and didn’t want to have to buy it just for this, so I just nixed it. I also used the Betty Crocker super moist triple chocolate fudge cake mix because the store where we were did not have any kind of dark chocolate mix. I left some un-frosted because we have some cream cheese-haters in our midst (crazies!!). Those come to 2 WW pts+ but the normal frosted ones are only 3pts/cupcake (serving= 1 cupcake; recipe made 24 (so you might want to cut it in half if you're NOT planning on having company/sharing). Also if you choose to have a frosted one but leave the orange off of the top it’s still 3 pts, I checked.

They were/are yummy! VERY moist, orange taste is very subtle (mostly cause i didn't use the extract), & the tastiest when iced.

made half of them tiny :)

waiting for them to cool down before putting them up for the night before frosting them

finished product. I left some un-iced & some w/out oranges though
