I have been using this same recipe for years, they turn out just perfect and are fast and easy to make. I am not a big fan of icing, so these are my favorite cupcakes...and they take less time than iced cupcakes.

These muffins sound delicious. I'm going to have to make them :)
Would boxed cake mix work?
I made these last night and they were SO good. We ate them after they'd been out of the oven for a while but the chips were still melted...it was amazing. They are still really moist the next day too (I had one for breakfast lol).
I have made these 3 times...and they were fantastic the 1st and 3rd time. The second time I tried using Splenda in place of sugar, and they turned out horrible! So don't try using sugar substitute because it's just not the same :)
I have been making these for 20 years and everyone loves them. They taste even better when you use mini-muffin tins
My grandma has made these since before I can remember. They're a family staple. I always get a little jealous when I learn that others know the secret.
Thanks for posting the recipe! I blogged about my experience with it, if you're interested: http://dontforgetrecipes.blogspot.com/2012/06/chocolate-cream-cheese-cupcakes.html
I have made these for years. They are awesome frozen and or with walnuts also.
I tried making these last night, I thought the time was a bit too long, the cream cheese filling browned a little too much. I said I was disappointed the way it turned out after I pulled them out of the oven, but this morning, I tried one before I shared, and they don't taste burnt at all and are really, really moist. I'll most definitely try this again, maybe cutting the time down next time.
We've made these for years. I always use a dark chocolate cake mix, much easier. Then I make a frosting with melted chocolate chips and sour cream. They are delicious, works great as a cake too.
My mom used to make these when I was growing up. It was my favorite dessert! So glad I found the recipe, I hope they turn out the same!!! Thank you!!! So excited to try them! :)
Lol me too!!!! :) we always refrigerate ours too! Fantastic.
Never used distilled vinegar before...can we use white vinegar in its place?
I've never used distiller vinegar. Can we substitute it for white vinegar?
Just checking if there was suppose to be an egg in the batter.
Thanks.
Can this be made into a cake?
we make these all the time! The kids and teachers love them! we make them in mini cupcake holders so they are bite sized!
I've made these twice now and they were a huge hit! Thanks so much for the recipe!
Sara, thanks for the splenda info..good to know.
Yes, you can use white vinegar.
Nope, no egg in the batter..its sort of a wacky cake type batter...
Thanks for all of the feedback.
ps...not sure if a boxed cake would work, I haven't tried that.
I make these with brownies and this filling. It takes 2 boxes of Brownie mix to use up the white cream cheese filling. My daughter does not like choc. cake but loves Brownies. Yum.
