Mini Chocolate Cupcakes with Dulce de Leche Cream Cheese Frosting

These cupcakes are probably the tastiest caramel dessert I have made,
and were very well received at work! In fact, I need to reproduce them
for a coworkers daughters graduation party.

Chocolate Cupcakes:
1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
1/2 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
1 cup Boiling Water
1 1/3 cups Flour
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick Butter
1 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
2 t Vanilla

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Whisk together boiling water, chocolate and cocoa powder and refridgerate.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Beat the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla mixing until
smooth. Add the flour mixture and beat only until combined. Add the
cooled cocoa/water mixture and stir until combined.

Spoon mixture into mini cupcake pans (either lined or greased). Bake
for 15-20 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

Frosting:
1 stick Butter
8 oz Cream Cheese
4 oz Dulce De Leche
3 cups Powdered Sugar

Mix butter, cream cheese, and dulce de leche together. Then add the
powdered sugar.

Once the cupcakes have cooled you can frost them. I also filled mine
with a little dulce de leche. To do so, put some dulce de leche into a
squeeze bottle, microwave for 20 seconds, and then fill away!
