I've been a bit behind on my blog lately, but have decided since it *is* MY blog, I really do NOT have to apologize. Or feel guilty. (Maybe if I keep telling myself that enough it will work... I'm sorry- so sorry...)

Anyway. My mom is after me to submit some recipes for our family reunion coming up, so I dug out my standards that I share on request (as in- they are the ones already typed into my computer, so easy to pull up when someone asks me to share a recipe! And they ARE my most popular requests...) This is only ONE of my family favorites- especially B & D's. D's gramma used to make them a lot (but mine are better). B actually gave these to her friends as graduation gifts last year. Except the teenage kids don't call them Filled Cupcakes. They're "that age"- you know, when it's fun to make things be about S-E-X? So, they call them Sex Cupcakes. I'm not sure I want to really know why, except that they really are THAT good.

Filled Cupcakes
The reason my college student wants me to visit!
1 pkge. Chocolate cake mix (we like devil’s Food- Dark Chocolate is also very good, but any chocolate will work!) (aprox. 18 oz package)
Ingredients to make cake as directed on the back of the box.
--- Mix up cake as directed on back of box.
8 oz. softened cream cheese
1/3 c. sugar
1 egg
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
--- Beat cream cheese & sugar until light & fluffy. Beat in egg. Stir in chocolate chips. Fill cupcake liners (will make 24) 2/3 full with cake batter. Drop aprox. 1 Tbsp. of cream cheese mix into each liner also. Bake as directed on the mix box. The filling will sink to the middle. Frost with "Chocolate Chip frosting":

So- enjoy the cupcakes. They really are VERY easy and VERY good. My family has also been known to keep the extra frosting in the fridge to eat with a spoon. Annnndddd- now I want one. Hmmm- a cool summer day- seems like a good time to bake!
I don't want to make these (because I'm sure they will come out wonky if I attempt them). I just want to come over so you can share them with me. ;)
