Preheat the oven to 175°C/350°F. Place paper liners into the cupcake tin. In a microwaveable mixing bowl, combine butter and chopped chocolate and melt for 30 sec. in the microwave, or until the butter is completely melted. Whisk the chocolate until melted and smooth.

Spoon the batter into the cups about two-thirds full. Bake at 175°C/350°F for approx. 30 min. Take out and set aside for 5 min. Then remove cupcakes from the tin and continue to cool on a rack.
