Wow what a treat! I used white chocolate chips and Heath bar crunch rather than the chocolate chips, as I don't care for chocolate. but I think you could sub any type of chip. My family cannot wait for me to make them again!

I have gotten so many compliments on how great these are! I learned that its better to fill the cupcake liners with less cake batter before adding the cream cheese mixture then the cupcakes dont bake over.

I was lazy and actually made this in a 13x9 cake pan. I lined the bottom with parchment and I am so glad I did. When I turned the cake out and peeled off the paper it was beautiful with the chips peeking through the cake. I let it cool, cut it in squares and stored them in a tupperware container. The pieces went easily into plastic sandwich bags and off with the lunches they went! No mess! No fork! No problem! God Bless

We liked these - they travel well. My only complaint was ALL the chocolate ends up in the bottom, and stuck to either the wrapper or the muffin tin. Some whole chips were left behind.

Nothing but compliments from the friends that I have shared them with. I used Baker's semi sweet Chocolate Chunks with chocolate cake mix. Yum!

I made these with dark chocolate cake mix with peanut butter chips and white chocolate chips. I took them camping and everyone raved about them! The filling did not sink to the bottom as shown in the picture, but they were still excellent with the filling on the top and in the middle.
