Talk about rich stuff!!This was a wonderful recipe!! We loved it. I added some white chocolate chips to the cake mix...and tat is all I changed to the recipe. It was TDF!!! It didn't need any other changes at all, and I would advice anyone looking at this recipe, try it!! And don't change a thing, quick whip up but oh so good!!

This is by far one of the best cupcake recipes around. I made these for my son's preschool and he came home with an empty plate! I would like to try a variation on this with white or strawberry cake mix, strawberry cream cheese and white chocolate chips. Excellent baked product that is worth the extra step of filling, try it!

I've made these cupcakes a dozen times since I stumbled onto this recipe. Best to stick with the ingredients as-is to get the best filling texture. I drop the filling in AFTER filling the batter up to about 3/4 of the cupcake paper and the filling always moves to the bottom as it should. Family and co-workers request that I bring these to almost every big get-together, they are a hit!

This recipe is fantastic! I have made these cupcakes a few times now, most recently as one of three kinds for my wedding a couple of weeks ago. These ones were all gone by the end of the night, and my aunt dubbed them the BEST CUPCAKES EVER! Only thing I did differently is fill the cups halfway, put in extra cream cheese mix, and put enough batter on top to mostly cover the cream cheese. Thank you so much for the recipe!

These are easy to make and so good! I didn't put a glaze or frosting on them, but I thought that Ms_Bold's picture looked amazing! I doubled the cream cheese center. I made 26 cupcakes. I definitely will use this recipe again. Thank you for posting this recipe.
