The first time I had these cupcakes, I fell in love with them. But not with the amount of time it took to make them from scratch. So, I found a way to shorten the time by incorporating a cake mix for many of the ingredients. It takes no time at all now. These are an easy dessert to make since they don't need any frosting.
Ingredients:
- Chocolate or Fudge flavored cake mix
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/4 sugar
- 6 oz chocolate chips
Directions:
Follow the instructions on the cake mix. In another bowl, mix together the cream cheese, egg and sugar. Once blended, add the chocolate chips.
Line a cupcake pan with paper liners. Fill 1/2 to 3/4 full of the cake mix. Add into the middle of each cupcake a generous tablespoon full of the cream cheese mix.
Follow the cake mix baking instructions which are typically; heat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 15-17 minutes for cupcakes.
This recipe makes approximately 24 cupcakes.
