Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes


1 chocolate cake mix as directed  (or the chocolate cake recipe posted 8/16/11)
1 can cherry pie filling
cream cheese frosting (recipe posted 7/16/11)

preheat oven to 350f/175c
pour cake batter into cupcake paper cups  half way full, spoon 3 cherries into the cup (not too much of the gel) then top with more cake batter until cup is 3/4 filled.

bake 15 to 20 minutes until done (if top of cake springs back when lightly touched they are ready)

cool completely & top with cream cheese frosting.

* to make it more decorative I added a tablespoon of the cherry gel to my frosting which made it pink, then I melted some chocolate chips or candy I had in the refrigerator with a little bit of milk and drizzled it over the top of the cupcakes 


Melted chocolate:


1/4 cup of milk 
1/2 cup chocolate chips (candy)


slightly (not boiled)heat milk in a pan or microwave pour chocolate in and stir until melted
drizzle over cupcakes
