Normally I read the reviews before I make anything! But for some reason I trusted Martha Stewart would only have perfect recipes on her site! DON'T WASTE YOUR INGREDIENTS ON THIS CUPCAKE!!! The batter was good and it was easy to make but for what... a dry, weird, not very chocolate, sad excuse for a cupcake!

Wish I had read the reviews before I went thought the trouble of making these cupcakes. I filled them from the top and the filling was great... I'll use it again on another cupcake! These were a cross between a brownie and cake but had less flavor and moisture. Although they looked nice, I was very disappointed. I made a few other recipes from this site and were disappointed in them too. NOT what I expected from Martha Stewart web site!

OK, I made these cupcakes and they came out looking beautiful; however, they are soooo dry. What am I doing wrong or are they suppose to be dry?

These were very easy to make and not too sweet. To me they seemed to be more like a tall brownie rather than fluffy cupcakes. I ended up cutting the hole in the tops and filling them with the luscious filling. I then swirled more filling on top to cover the hole. I froze the "plugs" of chocolate to use in another desert at a later date.

I liked these more than my kids did. My kids said they were dry. Honestly, with the work involved they should be a show stopper. Not worth the trouble.

these cupcakes were pretty dry, but they had nice flavor. the filling was really buttery. i'd rather have the hostess brand.

does the pink bakery boxes help keep them soft? I mean if I kept mine in a bakery box is that good enough to retain their softness?

Nope. Butter doesn't *need* to be refrigerated. I would recommend keeping them in a covered cake platter or air-tight tupperware as they are always best when still moist. As for the marshmallow creme, you can get it store bought - check the baking section - or you can just melt marshmallows and butter together stove-top. I've only done the former way and it works wonderfully! Also, I suggest a chocolate ganache topping before you add the marshmallow detailing on top.

Do these have to be refrigerated since there is butter in the creme?
