Lido 14 Cupcakes

By

These make a full 3 dozen cupcakes, so good to bring to school (I used to make them for Beth & Heather). The inside has cream cheese filling, with mini chips. Although I usually just dust them with powdered sugar, you could always lightly frost with chocolate frosting and a squiggle of white (for your own, homemade Hostess Cupcakes ~ from scratch)
