Chocolate and Cream Cheese Together...Nothing Better

This is my "go to" recipe for a quick dessert. It's perfect to take to a party, picnic or get together...or make a batch and eat them all yourself!! They don't need frosting, so you can make 'em and take 'em.

Makes 24 cupcakes

• one package Devils Food Cake mix and the ingredients to make it
• 1 eight ounce package of cream cheese, softened
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• pinch of salt

In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and pinch of salt and beat until mixed. Stir in chocolate chips.

Add one heaping teaspoon of cream cheese mixture to each of the unbaked cupcakes .

These are so yummy. I made a batch for a party and this is the only picture I took...them going into the oven. Of course I was rushing to the party and never took a picture when they were done.

Happy baking,
