YUM! You can really taste the avocado flavor! It's not that often that I get to play with my magic bullet. Watching the freeze dried avocado turn to powder was fun. The recipe was really quick and easy to do. The hardest part was waiting for them to cool. Actually, they were warm when we had our first. (Hubby made me do it). I frosted them with "Real avocado Frosting" from this site which is another of Candice's prize recipes. I made no changes to the recipe. I got 18 cupcakes and they took 18 minutes to bake.
