List of Ingredients

1 chocolate cake mix

Filling:
8 oz. cream cheese (use the type that comes in a bar, not in a tub)
1 egg
1/3 cup sugar
2 drops yellow food coloring
1 drop red food coloring
6 oz. chocolate chips



Recipe

Combine cream cheese, egg and sugar. Blend in the food coloring and stir in the chocolate chips.

Prepare cake mix according to directions on package. Fill cupcake liners about halfway full and then add 1 teaspoon of the filling to the center of each cupcake. Bake according to package directions and the batter will rise up and surround the filling.

NOTE: Frosting the cupcakes is optional, but my son and his friends enjoy seeing the ooze, so I don't frost mine. Happy Halloween!
