3. In a large bowl add the hot cherries to the cocoa powder and mix until it is entirely dissolved
4. Add in the two cups of chocolate chips and continues mixing until they've melted completely
5. Add in the yogurt and eggs and keep mixing.

For frosting I made cherry jello frosting.

1 small box cherry jello
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/4 cup boiling water
1 cup heavy whipping cream

1. Dissolve the jello in the boiling water
2. Add in the whipping cream and powdered sugar, then beat on high until it becomes thick

Tip of the day: Don't frost the cupcakes while they're still hot.... the frosting will melt.
