It was my turn to bring the dessert for my Genealogy Club meeting and these heavenly little treats seemed like the perfect choice. These decadent Kahlua fudge cupcakes are perfect for any occasion or when you just have an ahnvee for a little something sweet. They are very easy to make and will melt in your mouth and have you going back for more. Cest bon, cher! Enjoy!

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1 pint light sour cream
4 eggs
1/2 cup Kahlua
1/4 cup vegetable oil
In large bowl, mix together cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, Kahlua, and oil. Beat for 2 minutes, on medium speed, with electric mixer. Fold in chocolate chips.

We had an absolute blast at the weekly T.G.I.F block party at Downtown Alive, on Friday night. Gorgeous Spring weather brought out a huge crowd for the double-header Grammy "after party", featuring the fabulous Grammy nominated "Pine Leaf Boys" and the Grammy winning, Chubby Carrier and The Bayou Swamp Band. The crowd was in nitty- gritty dance mode and there was a whole lotta hot dancin' going on. Poo-yie, cher! So much fun!

First up was The Pine Leaf Boys and they were really rockin' the crowd. There was a whole lotta two-steppin' and jitter-buggin' going on.
Next up, was this year's Grammy winner for best Zydeco, Chubby Carrier and The Bayou Stomp Band and the crowd went into Zydeco overdrive.
Here's a little sample of the first band and all of the fun going on in downtown Lafayette.
Let the good times roll, cher! To view more of my videos, go here, to my You Tube channel.

Wishing you all a wonderful week, filled with good times!

Delicious - my, you do come up with some tempting treats - I would not be able to resist those cup cakes.
Glad you are letting the good times rolev LOL ~ Eddie
I agree with Eddie. Those must be delicious, with or without music.
DEE-EEE-lish! Yum!! Those are some lucky folks - I just wanna lick the screen already. Hope you have a beautiful week.
omygoodness! If those chocolate cupcakes weren't delicious enough on their own, you've added kahlua! What a fabulous combination! Yum!
And that's the problem, those cupcakes would DEFINITELY keep me going back for more. They look sooo good, I could just imagine one with a fresh cup of hot coffee :)
If this recipe is as good as the lemon pie cupcakes, I'm in trouble : ) Sounds delish, thanks for sharing.
omg!
