These really didn't pack the punch that I had hoped-- perhaps I am used to baking with melted chocolate, not cocoa-- and I was also suspicious of adding 2 cups of water (instead of milk). How do they taste? Like cupcakes made with cocoa, not melted chocolate, and made with water, not milk. Even a cake mix has more flavor than these.

Turned out great. I added a little drizzle of acacia honey and fresh ground pepper, and used frozen quartered figs instead of dried. It impressed a bunch of my French friends-- irrefutable proof of a good recipe!
