Guinness Cupcakes with Sweet Cream Chocolate Frosting | Food, Fun & Faraway Places

Have you ever used Guinness in a recipe? We actually cook with it quite a bit. It makes the most wonderful sauce for these Beer Braised Short Ribs as well as this recipe for Irish Beer Ribs (spare ribs) made with Guinness Sauce. I used to buy this sauce until I figured out how to make it! It's wonderful with bread, too.

These cupcakes are only for adults, but aren't they fun?
