Preheat oven to 325°F. Fill pan with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, vegetable oil, and water until smooth. Add in the Chocolate Lovers Brownie Mix and stir until combined. Spoon the mix into each cupcake tin, about ¾ full. Bake on 325°F for 26-28 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in middle comes clean.
