Notes
The easiest way to melt the chocolate is the microwave in 20 second bursts. Stir between each burst until the chocolate is completely melted.
If needed, you can substitute sour cream for the yogurt.
You can also replace the dark chocolate in the cupcakes and topping with semi-sweet chocolate if you prefer.
