Grownup Chai Chocolate Cupcakes Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Valentines's Day Recipes. (Grownup Chai Chocolate Cupcakes Recipe). I was given quite a few Chai tea bags and found I wasn't a fan of the drink, but I liked the flavor and thought it would be good in a baked product. These rich, moist treats require no frosting. They are perfect with a cup of coffee or tea or even a glass of cold milk.
