The most dangerously decadent cupcakes filled with a smooth cream cheese mixture and chocolate chips in every bite!
Black Bottom Cupcakes Recipe
I am not a huge fan of traditional cupcakes because I don’t like a towering glob of frosting on top. I once saw someone rip a cupcake in half and sandwich the frosting between the two pieces, which I thought was genius! I could probably choke one down that way, but I prefer to have them in the form of Black Bottom Cupcakes!
These are absolutely to die for! They are dangerously addicting! Every bite is loaded with a sweet cream cheese mixture and chocolate chips, leaving you wanting more!
This is one of my all-time favorite recipes. My Mom has made them as far back as I can remember. She didn’t make them often, which made it even more special when she did!
Some of my other favorite recipes are Cinnamon Roll Poke Cake, Shamrock Shake Lasagna, Oreo Dirt Cake Cups, Carmelitas, and The Best Scotcheroos!
