These were very easy to make and delicious. I used a ziplock bag to pipe the filling in the middle. I used mini cupcake tins and it was the perfect combination of cake and filling. -
This is an incredible recipe, I have been making these for years, without the mini-chips. <br/><br/>The cakes are similar to the giant chocolate muffins with a similar filling I used to purchase at Starbucks.<br/><br/>The recipe, word-for-word is on page 309 of Anne Byrn's book Chocolate from the Cake Mix Doctor (published in 2001, by Thomas Allen and Sons Ltd.). -
Absolutely delicious! I didn't have any miniature chocolate chips so I used cinnomon chips instead. It was a great combination. They are my family's new favorite!

I live in Chandler, Arizona, which is near Phoenix. I have been a registered nurse for almost 25 years. Currently I am a clinical supervisor at a health care clinic. I love to cook rich foods with complex flavors, whether they be main dishes or desserts. I have also been eating low carb for about 5 years, so I am pretty good at modifying recipes to match my lifestyle.
