I got this from a website called Skinny Taste and just had to share. I couldn't believe how good they are.
Super Moist Low Fat Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Glaze
Chocolate addicts are going to love me for this one! These cupcakes are super moist and delicious, and they are so easy to make.
I used a box of Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge cake mix, a box of fat free instant chocolate pudding, a little water and some canned pumpkin. That's it! No oil, no butter, no eggs.
I've been perfecting these for weeks. My first experiments didn't include pumpkin; they were good, but I noticed no one in my house was eating them. When I asked why, they told me they were good, perfect for people on diets.... fail!! So I was on a mission to make low fat chocolate cupcakes my family would love, and here they are! Without the chocolate pudding, these are still very good, but the pudding just gives it that extra yum factor!
I used orange foil liners to give these a simple Halloween theme without too much effort. I also created some really cute Halloween cupcakes based on this base recipe. I will be posting those over the weekend. Not to create too much confusion, I am posting the chocolate glaze with this recipe, and the vanilla frosting will be posted on the next post. Both are equally yummy and a perfect solution for a low fat icing!

Thank you for this! I tried them last night and they were sooooooo yummy! I didn't add the glaze, and they were decadent enough that one was plenty to satisfy my sweet tooth!0 -
