Craving Cupcakes

Today I am craving some of my Mom's Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cupcakes. But since I am not pregnant anymore I decided I won't give in to my craving. Plus I am just too lazy to go out to the store, lug Connor around in his car seat, and buy cream cheese to make them.  

I love cream cheese and anything with cream cheese, for instance my favorite kind of cake is chocolate cheese cake. I have had it for my birthday almost every year since I was 14. These cupcakes are one of my all time favorites. When I make them I usually think to myself, "Wow this is a lot of cupcakes I will have to share..." So I plan to give some to friends, but they never end up leaving our home I eat 90% of them before Shea even knows I made them.

So I thought I would share the recipe, in case anyone else is craving some chocolate and cream cheese combo.
