Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a double boiler or microwave, melt the butter and chocolate bar together, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, blend the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the melted chocolate mixture.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined, then add the chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Fill the cupcake liners about 3/4 full with the batter.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  3. Allow baked cupcakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Frosting
  1. Whip the chilled whipping cream in a bowl until soft peaks form, then pipe it onto the cooled cupcakes.

Notes
