DALMATIAN CUPCAKES
2 pkg cream cheese (3 oz each) softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips(6 oz)
1 box supermoist devils food cake mix-betty crocker
1 tub ready to spread vanilla frosting-betty crocker
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1. heat oven to 350. place paper baking cups in each of 24 regular size muffin cups.
2. beat cream cheese, sugar,and egg in medium bowl on medium speed until smooth. stir in 1 cup chocolate chips; set aside.
3. prepare cake mix as directed on package. divide batter among muffin cups(1/4 cup in each). top each with 1
tablespoon cream cheese mixture.
4. bake 20 to 25 minutes or until tops spring back when touched lightly. cool 10 minutesin pan.
5. remove fron pan; cool completely. frost with frosting. sprinkle with a few chocolate chips.
Notes:when baked the cream cheese mixture drops to the bottom of the muffin cup, and is surrounded by chocolate cake batter. chololate chips on vanilla frosting gives the appearance of a dalmation pattern. finding the white spot inside the cupcake with chocolate chips in that is an additional surprise.
