Yummy & impressive!! I made for a co-worker's birthday & everyone enjoyed them. I used mini chocolate chips as suggested by another reviewer & devil's food cake mix, as a personal preference (the chocolatier, the better!!). I did pipe on some swirls of chocolate buttercream since it was a special occasion! These are so quick & easy, I'm sure I'll be making them a lot. And, surprisingly, I did get a lot of questions about how I got the filling in the middle!!!

I used devils food cake mix and got 24 cupcakes. I put a heaping teaspoon of the filling in (as it says) and another dollop of cake mix over. I have enough of the filling left to make another batch of 24 (just need to buy another box). I also used mini chocolate chips but only 12 oz as that is the size of the standard bag. Quick and easy - I just wish the filling recipe didn't make so much.
