Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins

The following is a recipe for chocolate Cheesecake Muffins. These muffins shared in our offering for the Taste of Kawarthas Food Fair and contributed somewhat to us winning the best booth in the show award.

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups flour

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup cocoa

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup water

1/3 cup oil

1 Tablespoon vinegar

1 teaspoon vanilla

One 8-ounce package cream cheese

1 egg

1/3 cup sugar

One 6-ounce package chocolate chips

Mix together the first four ingredients, then add the next four ingredients. Blend together and fill muffin cups 1/2 full with this batter. Cream together cream cheese, egg, and sugar. Top batter with creamed mixture. Divide package of chocolate chips and sprinkle on top of the muffins.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes. I usually make these as small as they are wonderfully rich and chocoholics can always manage 20 or 30. This recipe makes 20 to 40 depending on the size.
