I suppose these are really brownies that happen to be baked in a muffin tin using cupcake wrapper. But I’m ok with calling them cupcakes because, well, I CAN. Anyway, chocolate and cream cheese are always good together and this recipe from Food Recipes Miracles is super easy and will be a hit with the kids this summer. So whip up a batch and call them cupcake. No will argue with you because they will be too busy reaching for a second one to enjoy.
