It has a thicker texture, in addition to to a greater extent than of a brownie-mix gustation than anything. It doesn't role whatever melted chocolate, but lots of cocoa (which is why I can't select myself to telephone telephone it chocolate frosting - it's lots in addition to lots of cocoa instead). I used a Wilton 1M tip to chop-chop add together a few lovely rosettes to the cupcakes, in addition to and then topped it all off alongside about mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (love Ghiradelli ones), in addition to this cupcake was born!
