Black Bottom Cupcakes

Filed under: cupcakes, dessert — Emily @ 2:20 am

This is a recipe that my mom always used to make for us as kids for after school snacks. I have such fond memories of these cupcakes—they are so delicious! And very easy to make. I use cupcake mix to make it a little quicker, but you could certainly do everything from scratch.

Black Bottom Cupcakes

1 box chocolate cake mix–plus whatever ingredients necessary to make cupcakes from box (eggs, oil, water, etc…)

8 oz. cream cheese

1/3 cup sugar

dash of salt

1 egg

1 cup chocolate chips

Mix cupcakes as directed on box until time to fill cups.

Mix together cream cheese, sugar, salt, egg, and chocolate chips.

Fill cupcake tins half full. Add 1 spoonful of cream cheese mix into cups.

Bake as directed on box.
