DALMATIAN CUPCAKES

I do not like cake, but these are soooo good and come with a surprise in the middle. I eat them by two's. Two in the morning, two for lunch, and two for an afternoon snack. Kids especially love them.

2 packages (3oz. each) Cream Cheese
1/3 cup Sugar
1 Egg
1 1/2 cups Miniature Chocolate Chips
1 box of Betty Crocker Super Moist Devils Food Cake Mix
1 1/3 cups Water
1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
3 Eggs
1 container Betty Crocker Rich and Creamy Vanilla Frosting

Heat over to 350 (325 for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cups in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. In medium bowl beat cream cheese, sugar, and one egg with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Stir in one cup of chocolate chips; set aside.
In large bowl beat cake mix, water, oil, and three eggs on low speed for two minutes. Divide batter among muffin cups (about 1/4 cup in each). Top each with one heaping teaspoon on the cream cheese mixture.
Bake 17-22 minutes or until tops spring back when touched lightly. Cool for ten minutes in pan. Remove from pan, cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Frost with frosting. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.
