Fudge Brownie Cupcakes
Melt butter and baking chocolate in a microwave safe bowl or double boiler.

In a large bowl, cream melted butter and chocolate mixture. Add sugar and vanilla, and beat until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add flour and cocoa powder and mix just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, or until set. Do not place on the cooling rack until the brownie top has hardened slightly.
