I am conflicted about these cupcakes. On the one hand, they taste good, but on the other, they did not turn out like they're supposed to. I followed the recipe exactly except added a little vanilla extract to the cake mix. When they baked, the cream cheese mixture sunk straight to the bottom of the cupcake so I ended up with "cream cheese bottom cupcakes" rather than "black bottom cupcakes." It's impossible to get them out of the cupcake paper unless they're cold. The good thing is that they taste pretty good and I like the texture of the cream cheese. It is very creamy. I don't know, maybe an egg would have made the filling not sink to the bottom? It would have changed the texture too which I'm not sure I would have liked. Also to me the amount of filling in each cupcake is just right. Next time I am going to experiment with leaving out the chocolate chips (I used minis but still don't like the crunchy texture of them when cold) and try just baking the cupcakes like normal and then piping the sweetened cream cheese into the center.

I happen to like the reviews that add or subtract things b/c it helps me know what worked for them and what didn't. I was looking for this recipe but also like adding extra cream cheese and an egg and tea. of vanilla. These are great cupcakes!

Why do people insist on changing/adding to/subtracting from/substituting in recipes AND THEN RATING THE RECIPE ?? Do us all a favour and stop it. If you want to post your "new and improved" (more often "new and destroyed") recipe, go ahead, but hijacking the original recipe with your "improvements" is really obnoxious.

Easy to make and a very rich chocolate taste, but by themselves they are kind of ugly looking so I just did a basic buttercream to put on top and sprinkled with some mini chocolate chips to dress it up. They were eaten quickly. But they are so rich that most people could only eat one.

Love these! The filling is wonderful, took me a batch to get the timing just right in the oven and I put a swirl of butter cream icing on the top.

this recipe is almost identical to my great grandmothers recipe. i tried this one to see the difference and i would still go with my great grandmothers recipe which doesn't include the chocolate chips and changes the cream cheese recipe to 2 packages cream cheese, 1 cup white sugar, 1 egg, and 1.5 tsp of vanilla. in my opinion, the chocolate chips make it almost too sweet and doesn't showcase the cream cheese as it should. great recipe but i would make some slight alterations=)

I used red velvet cake mix and took suggestions from previous reviews and doubled the cream cheese and added an egg to the cream cheese mix. I also used mini choc chips, they turned out delicious!!!! I used a bag and tip to swirl a dollup of whipped cream cheese frosting and added a few mini chips on top and they turned out almost picture perfect! Cupcakes are very moist and yummy as well as quick and easy! I did use unsweetened applesauce in the cake mix to sunstitute for the oil. Yum!
