Watermelon Cupcakes

I am very lucky in many ways. I have a husband who is the best, a family that is amazing, great friends, and also a job I love. One thing about my job that I really love is my coworkers. When I first started teaching I had 4 other first year teachers in my age group. We all got along wonderfully and have stayed close throughout our years at King. There are also several other wonderful teachers who we hang out with often. Tomorrow I am having a few of the girls at my house for a "summer is almost over" get together. I am making a light, healthy menu. However, I did need one decadent addition and who doesn't love cupcakes?! I knew I wanted something that screamed summer so I searched the internet. When I saw these I was in love! They were easy to make and came out adorable. Impressive looking without being overly time consuming. Try them!

In this picture you can see how the chocolate chips look like seeds. So cute!
