Needed something fun and festive for a light Halloween party this afternoon. I settled on Cook's Illustrated Ultimate Chocolate Cupcakes and Witches Brew Cocktails. At the moment I cannot consume either of these items due to a medically related diet, however, I can tell you from the tiniest bite and sip that they were both delicious and once I get beyond this diet I will be making them both again.
First, the cupcakes....a rich concoction of good bittersweet chocolate and Dutch-processed cocoa filled with a bittersweet chocolate ganache....there is NOTHING else you could do to this cupcake to make it any better!!!!!!! A chocolate lover's dream, it appears to be very moist, rich in chocolate intensity and creamy at the same time. It stands alone compared to any other cupcake I have ever had.
I am copying the following review for someone else's opinion since I did not really get to eat one.

Witches Brew Cocktail was a nice fruity mixture of pineapple, cranberry, Sprite and Coconut Rum. Everyone said it was refreshing.
