Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

Ingredients

  • 1 package (18-1/4 ounces) yellow cake mix
  • 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup (6 ounces) miniature semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 can (16 ounces) chocolate or vanilla frosting

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the cake and pudding mixes, water, oil and eggs; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Stir in chocolate chips.
Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 375° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Frost cupcakes. Sprinkle with additional chips if desired. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
