DIRECTIONS
In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, water, oil and eggs; mix well. Spoon batter by 1/4 cupfuls into paper-lined muffin cups. Spoon a rounded teaspoon of pie filling onto the center of each cupcake. Set remaining pie filling aside. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted on an angle toward the center comes out clean. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost cupcakes; top with one cherry from pie filling. Serve additional pie filling with cupcakes or refrigerate or another use.

Easy. Beautiful. Delicious. Different. All good reasons to try these. Follow directions for baking time on back of cake mix box. I frosted with a vanilla buttercream frosting and decorated with Valentine sprinkles. I was proud to send them with my husband this morning for his staff! Thanks for an easy, yet creative twist on the typical boring, cake mix cupcake!

I made these cupcakes for my daughter's class - "The Teacher's Birthday" - and the teacher loves chocolate! Didn't want to make "the same ol' boring chocolate cupcakes" so I found this recipe. I added 1 small box of instant chocolate pudding to a fudge-like cake mix and frosted with Betty Crocky Rich and Creamy Cream Cheese frosting - WOW!! The only change I'd make is the cooking time - took only about 14 minutes for moist cupcakes. They looked beautiful - "black forest cupcakes" is another great name for these!!

These are good, but not spectacular. I'm spoiled on the self-filled cupcake recipe on this site! These are a nice twist if you want something a little different for your kids birthday party or school function. I'm not a big fan of canned pie filling, so I think next time I'll use plain ole maraschino cherries.

I love the combination of cherry and chocolate, and I could see the potential in this recipe. However, I was a little frustrated that about 1/3 of the cupcakes were sagging a bit because the cherries had dropped to the bottom. I had spooned in a tsp of filling, which was about 2 cherries. I'm thinking that the cherries were too heavy. So next time, maybe if I spooned one cherry and half a tsp of filling sauce, it won't sink. I will try this recipe again.

I made these cupcakes for a party last weekend and they were very good. I used a chocolate fudge cake mix and cream cheese frosting. My only "issue" with them was that the cherries sank to the bottoms of the cupcakes; I'm not sure what could be done about that. Everyone seemed to enjoy them nonetheless, and I will probably make them again.

I made these for dinner guests and a church picnic and they turned out pretty well. I frosted them with vanilla frosting from the vanilla chocolate powdered sugar frosting recipe from this website.
