Cream Cheese Filled Cupcakes

Here's another chocolate treat for all those chocaholics!  Simple and delicious!  I frosted these with a rich chocolate frosting but if you don't want death by chocolate then frost them with cream cheese frosting.  Both are delicious!

Cream Cheese Filled Cupcakes:

Ingredients:

 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 cup semisweet miniature chocolate chips
1 box chocolate cake mix (I used chocolate fudge)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Prepare chocolate cake mix according to package directions in a large bowl. 
2. In separate bowl cream together cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the egg until well blended; stir in miniature chocolate chips.
3. Line cupcake tins with cupcake papers. Fill 1/4 full with chocolate cake batter. Add 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture to the center, and top with more cake batter so they are about 2/3 full.
4. Bake according to package directions for cupcakes. Cool and frost with chocolate or cream cheese frosting.
