Thinking about making these for my (adult!) daughter on her birthday. Have never tried them so was curious about whether the JD and chocolate would be a good combo or not.

Also, I like the presentation of these.

But never bourbon. I've had JD (in my distant youth) and can barely even remember how that tastes.

I'm not much of an imbiber, though I do like the idea of using booze in certain recipes. Love the idea actually.

Yes, I will take pics and post if I make these cupcakes, providing they don't look a mess.

Bookmarking!

My attempt will probably look more like the second photo! But I'll never know unless I try, right?

Thanks for link. I needed a good laugh.

Jack is Tennessee whiskey, it gets an extra filtration step that IMO makes it taste nasty. I say this with mild passion as a man who loves bourbon above all else...but dare to call Jack bourbon in Lynchville and you'll learn why the town has that name!
