Filled Cupcakes


1 box chocolate cake mix and ingredients to prepare as directed
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips (~ 1 cup)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Prepare cake mix according to directions on the box.  In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, salt, sugar, and egg.  This is where the creativity went wild, and I added a few drops of yellow food coloring (Destination: Steeler Super Bowl Party).  I know.  Somebody stop me.
Stir in the chocolate chips. 

Using cupcake liners in your muffin pan, drop 2 Tablespoons of the cake mix into each or until about 1/2 full.  Then drop 1 Tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on top of each, making each almost 3/4 full. 

Bake 25-30 minutes. 

No frosting required!  The only things I would change are possibly doubling the cream cheese mixture next time and investing in enough cupcake liners so I can use all yellow ones. 

Makes about 30 cupcakes. 

Enjoy!
