Delicious! I made these for Valentine's Day Weekend. Here's what I did:<\/p>
- Added 1\/2 tsp. vanilla (I always add extra vanilla to recipes)<\/p>
- Used standard vegetable oil instead of canola (the kind I used had canola oil in it)<\/p>
- Let cream cheese sit on counter for 1 1\/2 hours (to soften)<\/p>
- Used paper liners (works great!)<\/p>
- Let them sit in hot pan for 10 minutes before removing (as recipe suggested)<\/p>
- Used mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (Nestle)<\/p>
- Baked @ 350 degrees for 18 minutes (perfect time; we do have propane which makes for a hotter heating source)<\/p>
- Put batter & filling in fridge between batches<\/p>
*It's important to not over-mix, so I've been told on recipes like this<\/p>
* Recipe made 69 mini cupcakes for me (just under 6 dozen)<\/p>
They are so addicting & delicious. Definitely worth a try!<\/p>","CommentId":4,"DateRated":"02\/12\/2016 08:58","GUID":"d65ee2b15c1642a18b4e6f6475b958e2","MemberId":8767982,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"cupcakequeen722","SubmittedDate":"02\/12\/2016 08:58"},{"Comment":"
These are excellent. I've now made two batches and got rave reviews from the tasters so far. I got 48 minis from the batter. I will most definitely make these again.<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"01\/01\/2015 17:30","GUID":"e81b37946d4d41129452b95564d91036","MemberId":5841607,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"lilmacgil","SubmittedDate":"01\/01\/2015 17:30"},{"Comment":"

I have been making these for over 30 years. They are wonderful and always a huge hit. I have never had them fail me. I make them in a regular size cupcake and always a double batch!<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"","GUID":"386440426e114fbf9766389f5b4361c5","MemberId":7571386,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"RLKF","SubmittedDate":"12\/30\/2013 21:56"},{"Comment":"
I teach childbirth classes, and the last class of every series is a reunion where former students can share their birth stories and show off their babies to current students. These were a huge hit with everyone at class last week. One dad-to-be kept passing the tray around and exclaiming how good they were. My family love them as well. Definitely a keeper!<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"","GUID":"B6FFA8BBEF159AB6F99F5B949C0F877B","MemberId":212062,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"collectorkerri","SubmittedDate":"10\/28\/2013 14:14"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"03\/16\/2012 04:20","GUID":"09d0986fec134d36a749db250f96beae","MemberId":6275146,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"iluvcupcakes","SubmittedDate":"03\/16\/2012 04:20"},{"Comment":"
Very nice cupcakes. I made a cream cheese frosting to put on top, makes them look a lot better.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"03\/08\/2012 20:47","GUID":"82a4f64a7f6349bcaef7a13500811c28","MemberId":6549264,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"ilka896","SubmittedDate":"03\/08\/2012 20:47"},{"Comment":"
Been making these for years.... add miniature choc chips to the cream cheese center. People always ask where you bought them!<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"03\/06\/2012 10:40","GUID":"963165ebe4f84b9aa8627a29772da351","MemberId":6257014,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"thevajdas","SubmittedDate":"03\/06\/2012 10:40"},{"Comment":"
I have been making this exact same recipe for over 40 years. It is always a favorite. I use mini chocolate chips when I bake mini cupcakes and regular size for regular ones. To really fancy these up, sprinkle with a little granulated sugar and slivered almonds before baking. We have always called these Black Bottom Cupcakes. Also with no egg in the chocolate batter the cholesterol in this recipe in very low.<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"03\/06\/2012 09:38","GUID":"569d3747de2c4b46863dde97b8f310b5","MemberId":2833557,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"GeorgeAnne","SubmittedDate":"03\/06\/2012 09:38"},{"Comment":"
Have had a similar recipe for years. Easier way to make them. Just use a dark chocolate cake mix and drop the cream cheese mixture by teaspoonful into the batter after putting into cups. Can be done as minis or regular sized cupcakes. Frost with cream cheese frosting. A huge hit with everyone I've made them for.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"03\/05\/2012 13:43","GUID":"171B6F5B9F26451C9BC2D57E3327C403","MemberId":3764297,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"lfoisy","SubmittedDate":"03\/05\/2012 13:43"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"10\/06\/2011 15:12","GUID":"f0478cf8ca7e4ceda2b3d322eb918268","MemberId":3466368,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"jamieberg","SubmittedDate":"10\/06\/2011 15:12"},{"Comment":"

I baked them for 13 minutes but reduced the oven temperature to 325F due to the sugar substitute I used.

If these are minature cupcakes, should they be cooked as long as full sized cupcakes? The cupcake thread on cake central recommends mini's to be baked 9 minutes.<\/p>","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"","GUID":"2a8a6fea2cec405b957fc2db56e43ef9","MemberId":3167483,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"pat317","SubmittedDate":"06\/17\/2008 00:26"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":18,"DateRated":"02\/22\/2008 08:05","GUID":"82C4849771DB4C5CB292300601FDD040","MemberId":575684,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"UmMa","SubmittedDate":"02\/22\/2008 08:05"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"11\/16\/2007 10:56","GUID":"a4a7b4f673e043ef9db44ecc6f7f76bb","MemberId":1504337,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"ele0902","SubmittedDate":"11\/16\/2007 10:56"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":20,"DateRated":"08\/21\/2007 15:22","GUID":"91204638FB3E2332BDCC8490C88AD668","MemberId":48957,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"BUTTERFLYLADY","SubmittedDate":"08\/21\/2007 15:22"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"08\/20\/2007 19:58","GUID":"FFBA7D0EFB7240E6AB5693976D77576A","MemberId":2089727,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"squeaks49","SubmittedDate":"08\/20\/2007 19:58"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
