8 oz. cream cheese
 1 egg
 1/3 cup sugar
 1/8 tsp. salt
 1/2 tsp. vanilla
 1 cup chocolate chips (the mini chips are nice)
 1 1/2 cup flour
 1 cup sugar
 1/4 cup (generous) cocoa
 1 tsp. baking soda
 1/2 tsp. salt
 1 cup water
 1/3 cup oil
 1 Tbsp. vinegar
 1 Tbsp. vanilla
 Mix all ingredients except chocolate chips together in a small
 bowl, until smooth. Stir in chips.
 Stir all the dry ingredients together in a medium bowl.  Add, all
 at once, the water, oil, vinegar and vanilla.  Stir until blended.
 Fill 18 paper lined cupcake cups 1/2 full of cake batter.  Drop a
 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into each cup.  For the best
 looking cupcakes, after dropping the cream cheese mixture into the
 batter, just use a spoon to lightly cover the cream cheese with
 the cake batter (it makes the tops more rounded).
 Bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 - 35 minutes.
