I just had to try out my sons favorite Red Velvet Cupcakes by following the Ducan Hines recipe. They came out amazing!!!

Creamy Red Velvet Cupcakes
Absolutely tantalizing! Cream cheese, chocolate chips and coconut make these cupcakes rich with flavor.

Ingredients:

1 pkg Duncan Hines® Moist Deluxe® Red Velvet Cake Mix
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1 tub Duncan Hines® Creamy Home-Style Cream Cheese Frosting

Baking Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease muffin pans or line with paper baking cups.
Prepare batter according to package directions.
Spoon batter into lined muffin cups. In small bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar and egg; mix until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips and coconut.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture onto batter of each cupcake.
Bake 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cupcakes following package directions. Spread cupcakes with frosting.

Makes about 24 cupcakes.

These turned out so yummy that we will be making them, per my sons request, for our Christmas Eve family party.
