Today I have a sweet little treat for you all to celebrate one of my favorite bloggers, Ashton from Something Swanky!  She will soon be welcoming a baby boy, and many of her bloggy friends have gotten together to celebrate and bring you some sweet treats!

Something Swanky Baby Shower

Ashton has one of the greatest blogs I know filled with TONS of great sweet treats.  Just her chocolate chip cookie experiment alone is enough for me!  So in honor of her, I made these sweet little chocolate cups that start out so easy because they use cake mix.

This is definitely one of those sweets where it is hard to eat just one!  There is just something about a mini dessert.  You don’t feel as guilty, right?  They are perfect for parties and showers.

As far as the icing, I knew I wanted a really thick cream cheese glaze to cover them.  I just love how they came out.  They are best made ahead to allow time for the cream cheese to harden a bit, but it would be a lie if I told you I didn’t eat a few of them while they were warm!  Like I sad before, mini+dessert=weakness!

Be sure to check out these other desserts in our virtual baby shower honoring Ashton!!  This group of bloggers is so creative, so I can’t wait to hop on over to see what they have made as well!

Double Chocolate Cups

Yield: 48 mini cups

Ingredients

  • 1 box devil's food cake mix
  • 1 3.5 oz box chocolate pudding mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Glaze:
  • 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. If using a dark or non stick muffin tin PREHEAT to 325!)
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, and oil. Beat for 2 minutes.
  3. Spray mini muffin tins. (I use two 24 count mini muffin tins. If you only have one, just allow your pan to cool before baking a second batch).
  4. Drop very small teaspoons of batter into each tin. Do not overfill.
  5. Top each with a few chocolate chips.
  6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. I rotate my pan halfway through baking to allow for a more even baking. They will be slightly puffy but deflate a little once cooled.
  7. Allow to cool a few minutes before removing to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely.
  8. For glaze, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  9. Drizzle onto cooled chocolate cups. (I filled a small storage bag with icing with the end snipped off to drizzle the glaze).

I am a wife to an awesome husband, mother of four great kids, and a middle school math teacher. I love collecting recipes and cookbooks! Being able to share the things I make with others is so much fun for me. I have gotten so many cookbooks and torn so many recipes out of magazines! This is my way to really make use of them. I am starting this blog as a way to chronicle the recipes I’ve tried and pass them along. I hope everyone enjoys!!!
