Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcakes Recipe

Sharing is caring!

This weekend was my girls weekend at the lakehouse. We watch trashy tv, work on crafts, order out and relax a whole lot. Last time during girls weekend instead of crafting I baked and baked to write and photograph for the blog.

This year I didn’t plan on making anything during the weekend, but when I arrived I took some heat that I wasn’t baking anything. So, I quickly found a recipe and headed to the store. Saturday night after dinner I whipped up these cupcakes and they were fantastic. Let’s just say that the girls couldn’t eat just one and I didn’t bring any home with me.
