Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place 24 paper baking cups in muffin tins; set aside.

Add 2 tablespoons coffee granules to the prepared cake batter. Spoon the batter evenly into the baking cups and bake according to the package directions; let cool.

In a medium bowl, dissolve the remaining 2 tablespoons coffee granules in the hot water. Stir in the frosting until smooth, then frost the cupcakes.

In a small microwaveable dish, microwave the chocolate chips and oil on HIGH for 1 minute, or until the chocolate is melted, stirring occasionally.

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the frosted cupcakes. Let the chocolate set before serving.

This recipe yields 24 cupcakes.

Comments: Instead of using a dish, you can place the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a heavy-duty resealable plastic freezer bag, then microwave until melted. Snip a tiny corner off the bag and drizzle the melted chocolate over the cupcakes.

Yield: 24 cupcakes
