- Blend in 2 drops yellow food coloring and 1 drop red food coloring, adding more coloring if necessary to reach desired shade.
- Use mixing spoon to stir in chocolate chips; set filling aside.
- In large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt; set aside.
- In a second small mixing bowl, combine water, vegetable oil, vinegar and vanilla. Add contents of small mixing bowl to large mixing bowl and stir with mixing spoon to combine.
- Using a tablespoon, fill cupcake liners half full with cupcake batter, then place 1 teaspoon filling at center of each.
- As cupcake bakes, the batter will rise to surround the filling.
- Place pans in oven; bake approximately 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centre of one of the cupcakes comes out clean.

For the Frosting:
- Use your favorite frosting and add a few drops of yellow and red food coloring.
- This cupcake has a double frosting whammy: you've got the stuff on the top of the cupcakes and then you've got the stuff that oozes out of the middle.
- If you don't want it quite so sweet, just leave off the frosting on the top; maybe place a gummy worm on the top of each cupcake instead.
