In a large bowl, cream together the margarine, brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated. Fill each muffin cup 1/3 full, and place a chocolate egg in the center of each. Top with remaining batter until cups are 2/3 full.

My kids thought these cupcakes were great. I enjoyed them too. Great for anytime, not just Easter.

A nice one. Could make plain vanilla cupcakes too. Iced with vanilla on some and plain on others; topped iced ones with easter colored sprinkles. A pretty good hit, considering the party we were going to already had too much food! My brown sugar was loosely packed.

Not what I expected, very good though. A little cakey, I don't know if I did something wrong or thats how they turned out. My eggs always dropped to the bottom and stuck to the paper. I also topped with the Sour Cream Frosting. A plus!

These are fantastic! I've made probably close to 40 of these in the past 24 hours. They're gobbled up by everyone who comes over. (I use that sour cream frosting recipe with it, and it's delicious together!) Even when I ran out of butter, I replaced it with oil and it still tastes fabulous. This is definitely staying in my list.

for me, the cupcakes were really good. not all the ingrediants dissolved well, so the batter was a little lumpy. When it was baked, the lumps helped add nice texture to the cupcake, it was like cornbread. for me, the batter only made 15 cupcakes, instead of 24.

This was not good. For some reason, the ingredients were not appealing to me, mixed together as they were. Also, the brown sugar would not melt, and stayed in chunks. Therefore, some cupcakes got an overload of brown sugar, while others did not. Also, the cupcakes were bad by the next day. I would not make these again.

The batter had a great vanilla taste however these cupcakes cooked up very heavy and dry. I did not have any problems with the chocolates as I used mini Cadbury eggs and they have a thick covering on them. The girls loved the surprise inside. Just not a great texture - I like a light and fluffy cupcake.
