Forgot to tell you my recipe is to bake for 20 min. Also 1 teas of vanilla in the cupcakes.
I have made these for over 25 years. I started making them when my kids took cupcakes to school for their birthdays. I do put a pink butter cream frosting on top. I use a star tip and cover the top. My recipe is this doubled.(without the peanut butter chips) which makes close to 30 cupcakes.My second son who lives 2550 miles away still thinks I should mail them to him for his birthday. He is 28. I also think they are best kept in the frig.Everyone raves about them.

I make these all the time with a couple of changes that make them perfect! I use 1 1/3 c water for the cake mix. I only use the egg white for the filling which results in a much nicer consistency. By adding more water to the cake batter the topping drops further down the center of the cup cake! I will try them using both kinds of chips soon. Store in the fridge which enhances the flavor! They come out of the paper liner easily when chilled! Try these & see how fast they disappear!

I make this all the time, and everyone wants to know how to make it! Just made some again for Easter and shared the recipe on Facebook. It definitely is a blue ribbon recipe! Thanks, Taste of Home!

These are pretty much the best cupcakes I've ever tasted!

These were wonderful! I did use the recommended 2 tbs of filling, and found the cups overflowed in baking, reduced the amount on batch two though, and they turned out just as pictured! Also made them with light strawberry cream cheese, white chocolate chips and simple yellow cake - they make above lighter cupcake! I prefer either recipe chilled. Thanks for sharing!

These cupcakes are really good. I would only leave out the peanut butter chips, didn't care for the taste with the cream cheese and chocolate. Had a lot of cream cheese mixture left over, just fyi. Would make these again.

The cheescaake filling is awesome, but the chocolate cake is not that great. It's hard to get a really good homemade chocolate cake is hard to find.
