Black Bottomed Cupcakes

These are really my favorite!

1 pkg chocolate cake mix

Filling:
8 oz cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
pinch salt
1 egg
splash vanilla
1 cup mini chocolate chips

Mix cake mix as directed. Fill each cupcake 2/3 full (I use pampered chef large scoop)

Cream cream cheese and sugar, add salt, egg and vanilla and mix till blended (I like to use the kitchen aid, mixes faster)
Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by heaping tablespoonful into cupcakes (I use pampered chef small scoop), they will sink as they cook.

Bake at 350 for approx 35 minutes or until cream cheese is just a little bit golden on top.

Once cool, you can serve as is, or squirt a bit of chocolate frosting on top or dust with powdered sugar
