Recipe of the Week - Mocha Madness Cupcakes

It was a cold and windy day today around Lake Tahoe, although the forecast was for a nice sunny weekend.  Oh well...it's Nevada and if you don't like the weather you just wait five minutes and it will change.  Anyway, I was having a hot cup of java and started thinking about this week's recipe.  Mocha Madness cupcakes sounded like a good idea.
