(I  did not make the icing since wanted to pack these cupcakes for my daughtie's snack time. Anyways here the recipe for icing..!)

To make the Icing :

• Melt the chocolate and leave it cool slighty.
• Beat the cream cheese until softened, then beat int he melted chocolate.
• Spread  a little  of the icing over each cake and chill for 1 hour.

If  you r having the cupcake without the icing you need not chill.
