Chocolate Marble Cupcakes

These cupcakes pair Rich chocolate with fluffy cream cheese- trust me,

 it is hard to eat only one!  ;-)

INGREDIENTS:


- 6 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 C. Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 Box Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix (With pudding in the mix)
- Water, Eggs and vegetable oil called for in cake mix (depends on the bramd and specific flavor)


DIRECTIONS:


1.) Heat oven to 350'.  In a medium mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, 1/3 C. Sugar and 1 Egg with electric mixer until smooth.  Add Chocolate Chips and set mixture aside.
2.) Prepare cake mix according to box.  Divide batter evenly (I use a 1/4 c. scoop) among 18 lined muffin cups.  Top each with 1 Tbsp. cream cheese mixture.
3.) Using a knife or toothpick, lightly "criss-cross" the batters creating a "marble" effect.
4.) Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
5.) Enjoy!
