Marble Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

Submitted by Starweaver

"These are excellent for transporting to school parties or other gatherings. Because there is no icing you can stack them easily and they are not as messy to eat (especially for children) than cupcakes with icing. I've had teachers request that I make these for that reason and the fact that they are super yummy and rich tasting. These have been a family favorite for over 20 years."

These are real kid-pleasers. I liked the fact that they don't have frosting so made them to pack in my sons' lunch boxes. Unfortunately they are such a hit with the kids and their friends that I doubt there will be any left to put in their lunches tomorrow. These were quick and easy and will be put on our list of favorite family treats. Thanks Starweaver! (Made for Pick-a-Chef, Spring 2009).
