First Mix:

8 oz. pkg. of cream cheese, room temperature

Second Mix:

1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda

Add and beat well to sifted mixture:

Third Mix:

1 c. water
1/2 c. cooking oil

Then fill miniature cupcake inserts 1/2 full with the second mix. Drop 1 teaspoon of first mixture on top of each. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Makes 4 dozen miniature cupcakes.

DIETITIAN'S NOTE:

They say great things come in small packages! You can make the number of calories "smaller" by using light cream cheese in mix #1 and reducing the sugar in mix #2 to 2/3 cup. The salt in both mixes can also be omitted without altering these tasty, tiny treats.
