This decadent snack is so good it borders on depravity. The chocolate and cream cheese goes so well together that that you will wish you had made a double batch. That is until you eat them all. My family cant wait for them to cool before they start devouring them. Read more . MMMMMM Cupcakes!

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
