Chocolate Irish Cream Cupcakes

Sorry for the terrible picture quality, but I made these cupcakes last night and they have already disappeared! And these were just too delicious not to post right away. So, as a continuation of my quest to bake as much with alcohol as I can, I present Chocolate Irish Cream Cupcakes!
