Filling:
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese -- softened
1 egg
1/3 c sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 c semisweet chocolate chips
Batter:
1 c water
1/3 c vegetable oil
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 c sugar
1/4 c cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, egg, sugar and salt until smooth.
Stir in chocolate chips; set aside. For batter, combine water, oil,
vinegar and vanilla in another mixing bowl. Combine remaining
ingredients; add to the liquid mixture and beat well (batter will be
thin). Spoon about 2 tsp of batter into greased or paper-lined
miniature muffin cups. Top with about 1 tsp of filling. Bake at 350°
for 18-23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in chocolate portion
comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool
completely.
