Dalmatian Cupcakes
For our third wedding anniversary, in January, my parents got us a stand mixer. YES!! And well… I still haven’t used it! SAD, I KNOW!! But Travis deployed to Haiti shortly after receiving it, then we went on vacation when he got home, and then we moved so I have a good excuse for not baking!
Lately, Travis has been bugging me to do some baking and actually USE the mixer so I told him to pick something for me to make. He picked these DELICIOUS Dalmatian Cupcakes. The funny thing is, he found the recipe in a small Betty Crocker book I had so of course, all the ingredients were Betty Crocker so I STILL haven’t used my mixer!! I didn’t want to dirty it to just do a small bit of mixing! Haha! All well… these cupcakes are so good, I DO NOT CARE! Some day soon I’ll use it!
Prep Time: 10 mins
Start to Finish: 1 hr 15 mins
Makes: 24-30 cupcakes
Ingredients:
-6 oz. of cream cheese, softened
-1/3 cup sugar
-4 eggs-1 1/2 cups miniature or regular semisweet chocolate chips
-1 box Betty Crocker Supermoist Devil’s Food cake mix
-1 1/3 cups water
-1/3 cup vegetable oil

I think I might just have to give these cupcakes a try. I'm in a baking mood lately and then I can give them away so I won't be tempted…LOL! Well, maybe I'll keep a few.
