How to Make Chocolate Bar Filled Chocolate Cupcakes
- **Prepare Chocolate Bar Filling:** In a medium bowl, beat together 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate bar pieces.
- **Preheat & Prep:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper baking cups.
- **Combine Dry Ingredients:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- **Combine Wet Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup water, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- **Mix Wet & Dry:** Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on medium speed for 2 minutes until just combined. Do not overmix.
- **Fill Cupcake Liners:** Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with batter.
- **Add Filling:** Spoon 1 tablespoon of chocolate filling into the center of each cupcake.
- **Bake:** Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- **Cool:** Let cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Top & Serve:** Once completely cooled, top each cupcake with a piece of your favorite dark chocolate bar.
