Note

Storage: Store cooled cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture.

Filling Ingredients: The original directions list the filling ingredients separately. You will need 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 large beaten egg, and 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for the filling.

Substitutions: You can use dark or milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a different flavor profile. For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with coconut oil and the cream cheese with a vegan cream cheese alternative.

Tip: Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps in the filling.
