Valentine Dessert : The Chirping Moms

Chocolate Cream Cheese Cupcakes

 

Ingredients:

 

(For the chocolate cake batter)

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 tbsp. vinegar
(For the cream cheese topping)
  •  8 ounce package of cream cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 12 ounce package of mini chocolate chips
  • (Optional):  For a special Valentine twist, I added some red food coloring!
Directions:
 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In one bowl, mix all the ingredients for the chocolate cake batter.  In a separate bowl, using a mixer, beat the ingredients for the cream cheese topping.  Line mini muffin tins with paper muffin wrappers.  Fill each muffin wrapper halfway with the chocolate cake batter.  Add 1 1/2 tsp. of the cream cheese mixture to each mini muffin.  Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.  Remove from pans and cool immediately.  Enjoy!

Mint Chocolate Chip Crock-pot Brownies
 
Ingredients:
4 eggs
2/3 cup oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1.5 cups sugar
1.5 cups of flour
1 cup cocoa
2 pinches kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 Nestle Toll House Dark Chocolate and Mint Baking Chips
* You can use regular chocolate chips if you want plain brownies instead of Mint Chocolate Chip Brownies
Directions:
Use 2 pieces of foil to line the crockpot. Place one piece in the crockpot & then the other piece in the other direction in a “T” shape. Coat the foil with cooking spray.
Combine 1st 3 ingredients (the wet ingredients) in a bowl and mix well.
Then combine the dry ingredients in another bowl. Mix all the ingredients together & then add the chips. Mix again. Spread batter into the crock pot. Cook on high for 2-3 hours or until brownies are done (a toothpick comes out clean). Pull out the foil “sling” & flatten. Once cool, cut the brownies & enjoy!
